Abstract

Malignant melanomas arising from the mucosa are seen uncommon in the nasal cavity. A 85 year old woman was admitted to our hospital with history of recurrent epistaxis and unilateral nasal obstruction. The biopsy result was reported as amelanotic melanoma. In older patients with recurrent epistaxis and nasal obstruction, endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity and obtaining a biopsy from suspected regions are essential for early diagnosis of mucosal malignant melanomas.

Özet

Mukozalardan kaynaklanan malign melanomlar nazal kavitede nadir görülürler. Olgumuz 85 yaşında kadın hasta, burun kanaması ve tek taraflı burun tıkanıklığı şikâyetleri ile hastanemize başvurdu. Alınan biyopsi sonucu amelanotik melanom olarak raporlandı. Tekrarlayan burun kanaması ve tıkanıklık şikâyeti olan özellikle yaşlı hastalarda nazal kavitenin endoskopik muayenesi ve şüpheli bölgeden biyopsi alınması mukozal malign melanomların erken tanısında önemlidir.
