Primary malignant melanoma of the urinary bladder is rare, with only 20 cases reported to date. We present a case of an 87-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities who presented with advanced urinary bladder neoplasm. Histopathologic analysis suggested melanoma of the urinary bladder. No previous or concurrent diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma was documented. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the tumor before and during hospitalization at our hospital but died shortly after due to widespread disease. Autopsy was not performed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
