“…Wheelock [4] was the first to report a primary melanoma of the bladder in 1942, then Su reported one case in 1962, followed by Anichkov and Nikonov [5] who reported 2 cases of primary bladder melanoma but in neither case were exhaustive studies undertaken to exclude other sites' primary melanoma [6–8]. The primary bladder melanoma is extremely rare, and probably none of those previously reported cases truly arose from the bladder.…”

“…Transurethral resection, partial cystectomy, radical cystectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy have been used to treat bladder melanoma [2, 6, 8, 9]. In all patients with localised tumor, radical surgery seems to be the therapy of choice, although to date none of the patients survived more than three years despite cystectomy characterizing the poor prognosis of the tumor [2, 6, 8, 9]. Since the tumor recur after local excision in many cases, adjuvant chemotherapy associated with radiotherapy may improve patients' survival [10].…”

Introduction. Primary melanoma of the urinary bladder is very rare. As far as we know, 19 cases have been reported worldwide, usually as case reports. Case Presentation. We present a 71-year-old male patient presented with a 2-month history of hematuria. Ultrasonography revealed a 5-cm-size mass located in the bladder trigone. A transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) revealed a malignant melanoma. Evaluation for metastatic disease was negative. The patient deceased five months later before radical treatment could be performed. Conclusion. This is one more reported case of primary melanoma of the urinary bladder. The previously reported cases of bladder melanoma are reviewed. Therapy and prognosis are discussed.

This report is of a 50-year-old man with a rare urinary bladder melanoma. He presented with hematuria followed by bladder outlet obstruction at the time of presentation. Ultrasonogram of the pelvis revealed a mass in the bladder outlet, suggestive of enlarged prostate. Suprapubic cystostomy was then performed. Subsequent transvesical exploration revealed a dark coloured mass at the outlet of bladder, which on histopathology confirmed to be melanoma. After ruling out other possible primary sites, he underwent radical cysto-urethrectomy with urinary diversion. Disease was confirmed with immunohistochemistry. Patient died after 3 months with bilateral lung metastasis.
