Abstract

Primary mucosal malignant melanoma of the nasopharynx is rarely seen. This tumor grows and extends silently and its early recognition is difficult. Herein, the clinical presentations of two cases of primary mucosal malignant melanomas are reported together with the treatment results.

Özet

Mukozalardan kaynaklanan malign melanomlar baş-boyun bölgesinde nadir görülür. Mukozal melanomlar genellikle sessiz ve gizli bir şekilde gelişerek, yeterli bir şekilde hastalık ve bulgu oluşturmadıklarından erken dönemde tanınmaları zordur. Nazofarenks yerleşimli iki malign melanomlu olguda klinik bulgular özetlendi ve tedaviye yanıt bildirildi.
