Abstract

Malignant melanoma with its varied clinical presentations and histomorphological patterns is a perplexing problem both for the diagnosticians and clinicians. A small proportion of melanomas present with metastatic tumors with unknown primary sites and at these sites they mimic the more common primary neoplasms. We hereby report a case of malignant melanoma presenting as a submandibular lump in a 40 year old female. This lump was present for six months and was rapidly increasing in size. On cytology it was diagnosed as salivary gland neoplasm.

Özet

Çeşitli klinik prezentasyonları ve histomorfolojik paternleri ile malign melanoma, hem tanı koyanlar, hem de klinisyenler için kafa karıştıran bir sorundur. Melanomların küçük bir kısmı primer yerleşimi bilinmeyen metastatik tümörler olarak ortaya çıkar ve bu alanlarda daha sık görülen primer neoplazmları taklit eder. Burada 40 yaşındaki bir kadın hastada submandibuler bir yumru olarak ortaya çıkan bir malign melanom olgusunu sunuyoruz. Altı aydır bulunan bu yumrunun boyutu hızla artıyordu. Sitolojide tükürük bezi neoplazmı tanısı konuldu.
