Abstract:
Malignant melanoma of female urethra and vulva is extremely rare and the prognosis remains poor inspite of several types of treatment. We experienced a case of malignant melanoma on urethra and vulva, which was managed by radical cystectomy and vulvectomy with bilateral groin lymphnode dissection. Adjuvant therapy for metastasis following lymphnode dissection with Interferon was done.
