Abstract EN
Malignant melanoma involving mucosal surface of the head and neck region is rare.
Malignant melanoma involving the nasal cavity is even rarer and accounts for less than 1% of cases.
Prognosis is generally poor with unpredictable outcome.
Regional and distant metastasis is common at presentation.
We present a case of a 60 year old female who presented with polypoidal mass in the left nasal cavity and occasional history of nasal bleed.
Endoscopic excision of the mass was done with a clinical diagnosis of inverted papilloma.
Microscopic examination of the lesion was suggestive of amelanotic malignant melanoma and was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
She subsequently received chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
