ABSTRACT

Primary malignant melanoma of the vagina is a rare and aggressive disease with worse prognosis as compared with non-genital melanomas or other vaginal malignant neoplasms. Presented here is a case of 42 years female with 3 months history of amenorrhea and vaginal discharge. On vaginal examination, a firm growth of size approximately 7-8 cm was found attached to the left postero-lateral wall of vagina and extending up to the introitus. On biopsy and histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as a case of high-grade malignant melanoma of amelanotic type. Radiotherapy was started as a part of treatment after consultation with an oncologist, considering non-resectable nature of the mass. The patient received first 5 cycles of radiotherapy but succumbed to the disease during treatment.
