[Primary malignant melanoma of the female urethra: a case report].
A 72-year-old female with a complaint of hemorrhagic leucorrhea was referred to our department. She had a black tumor on her urethral meatus suspected as a malignant melanoma. Urethrectomy, vulvectomy, partial vaginectomy, bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy, and cystostomy were performed. Pathological diagnosis was malignant melanoma of the urethra. Local recurrence and lymph node metastasis were found 9 months later, and she has been given DAV-feron combined therapy.
