<h4>Purpose</h4>Gynecological melanomas (GMs) are rare tumors with a poor prognosis. Here, we performed exome sequencing to generate the mutational landscape of GMs.<h4>Methods</h4>Next-generation sequencing was carried out on mucosal melanoma samples (<i>n</i> = 35) obtained from gynecological sites. The alternative telomere lengthening (ALT) phenotype was verified by fluorescence <i>in situ</i> hybridization and the C-circle assay. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect ATRX protein.
