Primary melanoma of the uterine cervix figo stage III B

Abstract: The primary malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix is rare, usually diagnosed at an advanced stage and with poor prognosis. The diagnosis is made through histological evaluation and confirmed by special staining procedures. Radical surgery has been used and advocated. However in its advanced stages chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy can be employed. A case of a patient with malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix, Stage IIIb, is presented in addition to a clinical and pathological discussion.

“…There is no standard treatment for advanced-stage metastasized cervical malignant melanoma. Stage III patients who were treated by radiation with or without chemotherapy have been reported to have very poor prognoses [ 15 16 17 ].
