Primary malignant vaginal melanoma is a rare tumor. It accounts for less than 5% of all primary malignant
tumors of the vagina. It mainly occurs in postmenopausal women. Its diagnosis is delayed due to frequent and early recurrence. So it is important to think carefully before indicating an often heavy first surgery.
We describe a case of vaginal melanoma in a 70- year -old woman. Our aim is to present the clinical diagnosis and the therapeutic aspects of this rare entity.
