Malignant melanoma is a rare cancer, its incidence being 1% of all cancers. Malignant melanoma of the female genital tract is even rarer with incidence of 3% to 7% of all malignant melanomas. It usually occurs in postmenopausal women. We present a case of malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix in a multiparous premenopausal 29 year old female. She underwent a modified radical hysterectomy. She was stage III and was treated with external beam radiotherapy to the pelvis followed by brachytherapy. Since then the patient was on regular follow up until she developed lung metastasis. Malignant melanoma of the cervix has very less data in literature. Through this case report we will emphasize on the role of radiotherapy in malignant melanoma of uterine cervix

The purpose of this study was to review magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathologic features of primary malignant melanoma (melanoma) in the female genital tract. We retrospectively evaluated MRI in six women with melanoma of the genital tract. The signal intensity of the tumor on T1-weighted images (WI) was compared with the amount of melanin granules in hematoxylin-eosin stained sections of resected specimen.On T1WI, four melanomas showed a high signal intensity, one intermediate, and one low. The four melanomas with a high signal intensity on T1W1 were rich in melanin granules, while the one intermediate tumor had few granules. The other one was amelanotic. We believe that a high signal on T1WI is characteristic of primary melanotic melanoma of the female genital tract. Our findings suggest that it is strongly influenced by the presence of melanin granules.
