Abstract

Primary oral mucosal melanoma is a rare disease. Etiopathogenesis of oral mucosal melanoma (OMM) is inadequately understood. The prognosis of OMM is very poor . Due to its low incidence and late recognition, the optimal treatment modality is not well established. Surgery with free margins is the mainstay of treatment.
