MARTINS, Maria Boia; RAPOSO, Sofia  and  SOUSA, Rita. Amelanotic vulvar malignant melanoma. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.1, pp.65-66.  Epub Mar 31, 2021. ISSN 1646-5830.

Vulvar malignant melanoma (VMM) is a rare type of tumor, accounting for 5% of all vulvar malignancies, with an incidence of 1.36 cases per million women per year. Patients usually present a pigmented lesion or nodule, but VMM can be macroscopically amelanotic in 30% of cases. The authors report the case of a 64-year-old woman presenting a nodular unpigmented vulvar lesion, whose histology revealed a vulvar malignant melanoma.
