Abstract
Background Intranasal mucosal melanoma is a rare form of melanoma. Presenting as the features of occult malignancy and rapid in its progression. Presented with nonspecific symptoms. So far, no specific risk factor has been identified. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination helps to confirm the diagnosis. Here, we present a case of primary intranasal melanotic mucosal melanoma and literature review. Case Report The authors present a patient with primary right intranasal melanotic mucosal melanoma. Conclusion An endoscopic medial maxillectomy was done, and the patient was linked to the oncology department for radiotherapy.
