The etiology of vulvar melanomas may differ from other melanomas, where the most important risk factor is exposure to ultraviolet light.

Dermatology assessment described a palpable neoformation of 5 × 6 mm, black color, with irregular borders. Dermoscopy shown asymmetrical pattern, peripheral globules, irregular projections, and blue-white veil. Subsequently, an excisional biopsy of the lesion was performed, with a histopathological report of melanoma HMB45 positive, p-53 positive and focal Ki-67, negative margins. Further studies revealed no evidence of metastatic activity; therefore, it was decided to continue medical surveillance by the pediatric oncology service.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Vulvar melanoma is a malignant entity with a low incidence rate.
