We report the rare case of a primary malignant melanoma of the urethra. An 89-year-old African American woman who was referred to our urology clinic for intermittent gross hematuria and a palpable vaginal mass of two months duration. Cystoscopy revealed a 3 cm mass in the distal urethra and urethral meatus that was surgically resected by wide local excision. The histopathologic diagnosis was primary malignant melanoma of the urethra. The patient was subsequently treated with adjuvant EBRT and immunotherapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab. Post-treatment PET-CT showed good response to treatment and patient remained in remission at eight month follow up.
