A Case Report on Vaginal Melanoma That Metastasized Distantly

A case report of a 55-year-old woman who had just gone through menopause complained for a month about objects coming out of her vagina with a foul-smelling vaginal discharge. A 3-4 cm tumor growing from the vagina was discovered on a vaginal examination. The growth bled on contact and was friable. The patient also complained of multiple lumps on the body and difficulty in breathing. The patient underwent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) of the chest and was diagnosed with vaginal melanoma with distant metastasis. Following radiotherapy, a sizeable local excision of the vaginal masse was done as a palliative measure, along with the dissection of both inguinal lymph nodes. After experiencing abrupt dyspnea six months prior, the patient's CT scan of her chest showed the growth of metastatic lesions in her lungs, and she eventually passed away from her illness.
