Resumo

O melanoma uretral primário é uma neoplasia maligna rara entre as neoplasias de mucosa. Apresenta prognóstico reservado devido ao diagnóstico tardio. O único tratamento curativo é a abordagem cirúrgica com margens seguras. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar o caso de um homem que desenvolveu um segundo melanoma uretral primário 17 anos após um primeiro melanoma uretral primário. O melanoma havia sido tratado cirurgicamente com margens negativas e sem evidência de recorrência em 7 anos de acompanhamento. O artigo também alerta para a necessidade de acompanhamento endoscópico desses pacientes para a busca de outras lesões.
