Case report highlights primary ovarian melanoma alongside primary skin melanoma, emphasizing rarity.
Melanoma of the female genital tract is rare; it accounts for 3% of all melanomas. Primary ovarian melanoma is even more uncommon [1]. Thirty cases [2] were described from 1901— when it was first reported by Andrews— to 2015. Fourteen more cases [3,4] were recorded between 2005 and 2010, and another 18 cases [5] since then, that is, 62 cases in total.
