Abstract
Primary malignant melanoma of the female urethra is a rare tumor with great agressivity and poor prognosis. We reported the case of 65-year-old woman with polypoid tumor on the external meatus of the urethra. Tumor was localy resected, and immunohistochemistry revealed diagnosis of malignant melanoma. After three months distal urethrectomy was performed with tumor-free margin, and the patient is still alive during more than five years follow up period.
