Malignant melanomas represent about 3% of all nasosinusal neoplasms. They usually are located in the nasal septum and their maximum incidence is in the sixth and seventh decades. In the early stages they are asymptomatic, which delays diagnosis and reduces the possibilities of cure to 15-30%. Eight cases of nasosinusal melanoma are reported and their characteristics are reviewed with special attention to prognostic factors.

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.
