Abstract：
:A rare case of primary melanoma of the cervix is reported. The patient presented with vaginal bleeding and was thought to have a degenerated cervical fibroid. A radical hysterectomy with pelvic node dissection was performed and followed postoperatively with chemotherapy (phenylalanine mustard). The patient died within one year with widespread metastases.A brief review of the literature showed only seven cases of primary cervical melanoma. Prognosis is generally unfavorable regardless of treatment modality.
