Abstract
Primary vaginal malignant melanoma is an uncommon disease. Especially amelanotic variants are extremely rare. We have discussed an unpigmented vaginal malignant melanoma that was not suspected histologically but was confirmed by immunohistochemical techniques. Immunohistochemical techniques may usefully complement diagnostic histopathology in such unusual cases.
