Because of the rarity of this kind of vulvar neoplasia, the diagnostic difficulties (clinical and histopathological) conditioning the therapeutic approach and the missing iconographical material, we report a case of vulvar melanoma seen at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of L'Aquila in April 2001, together with a review of the literature. Owing to radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy with the Byron three-incision approach the histological report was: epithelioid cell apigmented melanoma radially spreading (MMSS), a tumor-free margin of at least 1.7 cm with sufficient lympholitic infiltration.

Abstract
Because of the rarity of this kind of vulvar neoplasia, the diagnostic difficulties (clinical and histopathological) conditioning the therapeutic approach and the missing iconographical material, we report a case of vulvar melanoma seen at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of L'Aquila in April 2001, together with a review of the literature. Owing to radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy with the Byron three-incision approach the histological report was: epithelioid cell apigmented melanoma radially spreading (MMSS), a tumor-free margin of at least 1.7 cm with sufficient lympholitic infiltration.Pubblicazioni consigliate
