Abstract:
The primary malignant melanoma of the female genital tract is an extremely rare tumor, it is less than 2 % of all melanomas. This tumor is frequently observed at the vulva but rarely in the cervix and vagina. The diagnosis is often initially unknown and is late during bleeding or tumor mass stage. Its histogenesis has long been debated. The pathological diagnosis is necessary for use with immunohistochemical study. Its management is not coded with several therapeutic proposed including metastatic melanomas. His prognosis is disastrous, associated with a high recurrence rate and a shorter survival. We report in our study five cases of primary melanoma of the female genital tract. Our objective is to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary factors of this pathology.
