Abstract EN
The mucosal malignant melanoma arises from the melanocytes present in the mucosal membrane.
It carries a poor prognosis due to local recurrence, neck node involvement and distant metastasis, making it difficult to identify the possible treatment.
The key and critical issue for the management of the malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity is early diagnosis in order to start primary modality of treatment like surgical excision and radiotherapy with adequate follow up.
We report a case of malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity in a 65 years old male with presentation of recurrent epistaxis and nasal obstruction.
Rarity of this isolated lesion confined to nasal cavity with a giant size warrants its attention for reporting this case.
