Abstract

Malignant melanoma metastatic to the lower genitourinary tract is an unusual cause of urinary obstruction. It is usually a diagnosis made at autopsy. Occasionally malignant melanoma may cause significant obstructive symptoms that require intervention, although the prognosis for these patients is uniformly poor due to widespread disseminated disease.
