Abstract

Mucosal melanomas are rare malignant neoplastic disease, that originates from melanocytes in mucosal tissue. It is a tumor mass of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses and most commonly originates from the nasal septum, nasal turbinates, or lateral wall and rarely occurs in the floor and roof of the nasal cavity. Most people with nasal cavity melanomas present with atypical nasal symptoms. The authors demonstrate the clinical manifestation and the therapeutic process of a 65 y.o. patient with malignant melanoma in the sino-nasal region.
