Malignant vulvar melanoma: colposcopic evaluation and review of the literature. A case report.
2003
Because of the rarity of this kind of vulvar neoplasia, the diagnostic difficulties (clinical and histopathological) conditioning the therapeutic approach and the missing iconographical material, we report a case of vulvar melanoma seen at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of L'Aquila in April 2001, together with a review of the literature. Owing to radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy with the Byron three-incision approach the histological report was: epithelioid cell apigmented melanoma radially spreading (MMSS), a tumor-free margin of at least 1.7 cm with sufficient lympholitic infiltration.
