Primary malignant melanoma of the middle ear mucosa : a case report

الملخص EN

Malignant melanoma is a neoplasm of melanocytes or a neoplasm of the cells that develop from melanocytes.

Primary mucosal melanomas of the head and neck are very uncommon as it only represents less than two percent out of all melanomas.

Surgery remained as a definitive treatment for early-stage melanoma, with medical management generally reserved for adjuvant treatment of advanced melanoma.

Here we report a very rare case of a malignant melanoma of the middle ear mucosa with no other primary site.
