Mucosal melanoma is a rare condition characterized by a melanoma of the mucous membranes. This subtype is associated a worse prognosis than those arising from the skin. Mucosal melanomas occur in the head and neck (55%), anorectal (24%) and vulvovaginal region (18%), and in the urinary tract (3%). Based on the histopathologic and clinical features, melanomas of the vulva and vagina are often considered a separate disease entity. The prognosis of vulvovaginal melanomas is poor, especially for vaginal melanomas and has not improved over the last decades. While chemotherapy does not improve survival, checkpoint inhibitors have been tested in mucosal melanomas and have shown promising response rates.

  • Das mukosale Melanom (oder Schleimhautmelanom) stellt eine Sonderform des Melanoms dar. Im Vergleich zu Hautmelanomen haben sie eine deutlich schlechtere Prognose. Mukosale Melanome kommen im Kopf- und Halsbereich (55 %), anorektal (24 %), vulvovaginal (18 %) und im Harntrakt (3 %) vor. Aufgrund der histopathologischen und klinischen Eigenschaften werden Melanome der Vulva und Vagina oft als eigener Subtyp gezählt. Die Prognose von vulvovaginalen Melanomen ist ungünstig und hat sich innerhalb der letzten Jahrzehnte nicht verbessert. (de)

  • Czerniak błon śluzowych – rzadki nowotwór złośliwy wywodzący się z melanocytów pojawiający się w obrębie błony śluzowej jamy ustnej, przewodu pokarmowego, w szczególności w odbytnicy, oraz układu moczowo-płciowego. Jest to trzecia co do częstości po skórze i oku lokalizacja czerniaka. Czerniak błon śluzowych jest osobnym podtypem czerniaka o odrębnej patogenezie, rokowaniu i leczeniu. (pl)
