Abstract

The case report of a black-skinned 62 years female patient assisted in Conrado Benítez García Teaching Provincial Oncological Hospital in Santiago de Cuba is described due to an increase of volume in the outer lip that began to hurt. A excisional biopsy was carried out which result revealed a vulvar melanoma. She was referred to the Oncological gynecology service where she was indicated treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy for being a non-surgical tumor. Four chemotherapy cycles were administered with good response and stability. Her care continued through follow-up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
