Dr Muktanjalee Deka, Dr Swastika Padmapati

Abstract :

Primary mucosal melanoma of ora l cavity is an exceedingly rare neoplasm comprising 1–2% of all ora l malignancies .The predominate localisation of this entity is hard palate and maxillary alveolus. Here we present a case of Spindle cell Melanoma of oral cavity ,which itself is a rare morphological subtype of Melanoma. –A 55 year old male reported with ulcer over hard palate , swelling right cheek, bleeding from hard palate, facial pain and nasal congestion since 6 months. CECT revealed enhancing lobulated soft tissue lesion over right premaxilla & hardpalate. Right segmental maxillectomy was done and specimen was sent to GMCH for histopathological examination revealing Spindle cell melanoma . Diagnosis confirmed by Immunohistochemistry analysis. Spindle cell melanoma is a rare malignancy and oral cavity being a rarer location, carrying poor prognosis. Combination of histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry is mandatory for diagnosis
