“…By using various internet search engines and biomedical databases, they found 35 reported cases in the period from 1974 to 2013. 3 In most reported cases, the uterus was grossly altered. In the present case, the tumour tissue of the melanoma was not visible at macroscopic uterus examination, and that was the first diagnosed metastasis, without the existence of known metastatic deposits on other localisations at that moment.…”

The incidence of melanoma is increasing worldwide. It is known that melanoma frequently progresses to metastatic disease. The aim of this report is to emphasise the metastatic potential of cutaneous melanoma to various body areas, as well as the ability to produce unexpected presentation of the disease. A 48-year female had a myomatous uterus and underwent hysterectomy. At the pathological examination, multiple leiomyomas were diagnosed and in one of them, the metastatic melanoma was found, the later confirmed with immunohistochemical analysis. The medical history revealed that the patient was previously operated two years back due to skin superficial spreading melanoma. The metastasis to uterine leiomyoma was the first site of distant spread. Melanoma is a type of tumour with aggressive and unpredictable behaviour, so metastases to unexpected localisations could occur. A careful examination of patient's body is mandatory, including the remote areas and even benign tumours.

“…Cytological and histopathological picture is also not specific, especially with non-pigmented tumor cells. Pathological preparation shows strings of pleomorphic anaplastic cells with large, round or oval nucleus with protruded nucleolus and sparse cytoplasm in which yellowbrown melanin-positive pigment can be observed [17].…”

“…Asymptomatic lesions that are typical in appearance do not usually require treatment [92]. Initial management of symptomatic lesions involves topical estrogen cream, sitz-baths, topical antiinflammatories, or steroids [95]. If symptoms do not resolve or if the caruncle is particularly large and bothersome, biopsy with surgical excision is commonly performed [96].…”

Background: Female urethral diseases are sparsely discussed within the literature when compared to urethral diseases affecting men. While, the male urethra is impacted more frequently secondary to the comparative increase in average length, presence of the prostate and considerations of carrying genetic material-disease process of the female urethra impose significant distress to affected patients and also potential for malignancy. The clinical presentation and management strategies often differs from the male counterpart and therefore it is important to consider disease processes of the female urethra unto their own right for evaluation and successful management. It is to that end this publication is put forth.
