Abstract
- Mucosal melanoma is rare compared with its cutaneous counterpart. Mucosal melanomas can occur in any mucosa such as the mouth, anus, vagina, nose, larynx, conjunctiva, and sinus. In the oral cavity, hard palate, maxillary aveolus, soft palate, tongue and the floor of mouth are common sites for mucosal melanoma. It shows poor prognosis because the local recurrence and distant metastasis to other organs are common. We present a case of labial mucosal melanoma developed in 61-year-old male patient which metastasized to the lung and was confirmed by CT-guided lung biopsy.
