Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Malignant melanoma, also called as melanoma is one of the rare epithelial malignancies of oral cavity. The most common presentation of this neoplasia is ulceroproliferative growth along with pigmentations. Initially, these lesions are asymptomatic and painless, often demonstrating only discolorations. But they are aggressive, fast growing with a tendency to invade and metastasize. Here, this article presents one such case of oral malignant melanoma. Oral melanomas have poor prognosis and low survival rates and hence are important to know so as to provide early diagnosis and treatment.
