Abstract

Derinin invaziv ve agresif kanseri olan malign
melanoma diğer kanserlere göre daha fazla mortalite ve morbiditeye neden
olmaktadır. Jinekolojik sistem primer melanomları, genital mukoza epitelindeki
melanositlerden gelişen bir grup bozukluğu içermektedir. Melanom, cildin
kutanöz kısmının yanısıra mukozal alanları (vulva gibi) da etkiler. Vulva hem
kutanöz hem de mukozal cildi içerir; klitoris, labium minor/major, mons pubis
ve üretra ve vajina açıklıklarını içermektedir. Burada biz, vulvar malign
melanomun iki farklı uç prezentasyonlarını ve tedavilerini sunmayı amaçladık.

Different presentations of vulvar malignant melanoma: Report of two cases

Abstract

Malignant melanoma (MM), an invasive and aggressive cancer of the skin,
causes distressing mortality and morbidity than other cancers. Gynaecological
tract primary melanomas include a class of disorders that develop from
melanocytes existing in the epithelium of the genital mucosa. Melanoma affects
mucosal sites (such as vulva) as well as cutaneous part of the skin. The vulva
includes both cutaneous and mucosal skin, and involves clitoris, labia
minora/majora, the mons pubis, and the openings of the urethra and vagina.
Herein, we aimed to present two cases with two different extreme presentations
of vulvar MM, and subsequent treatments we intended to perform.
