Our study highlights the rarity of urinary tract melanomas and their poor prognosis. The most widely used treatment for urogenital mucosal melanoma remains surgical while adjuvant therapy strategies are evolving. Next-generation sequencing showed mutational patterns with no location-specific patterns. The most frequent mutations were in the NF1, ATRX, NRAS, and TP53 genes.
