Abstract
Malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare manifestation, and neither retrospective nor prospective studies on this disease entity have been published. A patient with this disease entity is described. In addition, the data contained in 25 published case reports were collated in an attempt to clarify the origin, presenting symptoms, macroscopic appearance, and staging of the tumor. Although there is no consensus as to comprehensive treatment, radical hysterectomy is generally advocated. The prognosis in these patients is poor.Entities:
