Abstract:
Primary malignant melanoma of the female urethra is very rare, comprising 2-3% of the female urethral tumors. About 50 cases were reported in the literature. Peak incidence is in the fifth and sixth decades of life and the tumor shows early metastasis with poor prognosis. Treatment measures include surgical exirpation, radiation and chemotherapy, but the results were bad. Herein, we reported a case of primary malignant melanoma of urethra developed in 63 years old women.
