Abstract

Nine cases of primary oral mucosal melanoma in Caucasian patients were reviewed and the tumours analysed for expression of S100, HMB45, NKI/C3, HLA-DR, PCNA, cytokeratin and von Willebrand factor. The clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features were quite distinctive and our findings support previous suggestions that oral melanoma should be classified as a separate entity rather than as a sub-type of cutaneous melanoma.
