Oral Malignant Melanoma

Primary malignant melanoma of the oral cavity is a rare neoplasm. The tumors tend to metastasize or locally invade tissue more readily than other malignant tumors in the oral region. The survival of patients with mucosal melanomas is less than for those with cutaneous melanomas. Tumor size and metastases are related to the prognosis of the disease. Early detection, therefore, is important.

Rule Out

Primary oral malignant melanoma, very rare neoplasm of melanocytic origin, usually presents as a bluish black to tan-brown colored lesion Which is accounting for 0.2 to 8% of all melanomas, 1.6% of all head and neck malignancies, and 0.5% of all oral neoplasia. In general, the prognosis of oral melanoma is poor and worse than that of cutaneous melanoma. Here a case of oral malignant melanoma is presented, which was undetected during the first visit to a dental clinic. When a simple oral surgical treatment was carried out in that region, it resulted in the appearance of a massive pigmented lesion which was histopathologically diagnosed as malignant melanoma. This paper is presented to reemphasize the fact that any pigmented lesion in the oral cavity should be viewed with suspicion and proper investigation (biopsy) should be carried out to rule out any untoward experiences later.

Malignant Condition

Malignant melanoma is extremely rare neoplasm arising from uncontrolled growth of melanocytes, accounting for 0.5% of all oral malignancies. It has a great tendency to metastasize and locally invade tissues more readily than any other malignant tumor of the oral cavity. It present as the rare oral malignant condition, asymptomatic and poor prognosis. The necessity of a highly specialized treatment is factors that should be seriously considered by the involved health care provider. Herein, we report a rare and interesting case of oral malignant melanoma of the maxillary anterior gingiva, which was clinically and histo-pathologically diagnosed with a brief review of literature, has been discussed.
