ABSTRACT
Melanoma has an important metastatic potential and its incidence is greatly increasing. Even after many years of negative follow-up, gynecologists should be aware that a gynecological tumor might be a secondary location for a woman with a medical history of melanoma. Because of a poor prognosis and a reduced life expectancy, it is necessary to make a disease staging in order to offer a prompt diagnosis and a personalized strategy of treatment. Considering the increasing incidence of melanoma, gynecologists will face more frequently with this situation.
