[Bladder melanoma in a 7-year-old girl].
Melanomas are very rare in children. The authors report an original case of bladder melanoma in a 7-year-old girl. The initial staging assessment and complete remission 7 years after partial cystectomy with healthy resection margins confirmed the primary nature of this tumour Bladder melanomas are exceptional in adults, as only about 20 cases have been published. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case in a child.
