Abstract

Primary and metastatic mandibular melanoma are extremely rare. We report the original case of a 55-year-old woman treated 16 years before for a cutaneous melanoma, and now presenting with a huge mandibular amelanotic melanoma. Was it an histologically different mandibular metastasis of the previous cutaneous melanoma, or a metachronous oral amelanotic melanoma?
