Abstract:
Cervical melanoma is a rare malignancy with challenging diagnosis and management. We present a case of an 83-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with postmenopausal bleeding lasting for a year. Upon examination, a blackish lesion was noted on the posterior vulvar vestibule, and the cervix exhibited ulcerated, necrotic, bleeding, and purulent masses. Biopsy confirmed melanoma. Imaging revealed extensive tumor invasion into surrounding structures. Dermatological and ophthalmological examinations revealed additional melanocytic lesions. Despite palliative radiotherapy, the patient succumbed within a year of treatment initiation.
