We evaluated the clinical course and treatment of three patients who were found to have mucosal malignant melanoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses. The presenting complaint was recurrent epistaxis in all the patients. One patient had been followed-up for nasal polyposis for a long time. In older patients with recurrent epistaxis, endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity and obtaining a biopsy from suspected regions are essential for early diagnosis of mucosal malignant melanomas.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
