{Abstract}: The World Health Organisation defines mucosal malignant melanoma as a malignant tumour of melanocytes or of melanocyte progenitors. Due to the lack of symptoms and unknown etiology, mucosal malignant melanoma may go undiagnosed. The surgeon can find it challenging to come up with a definitive treatment strategy because of its rarity and rapid spread. In this case study, a 57-year-old female patient with hyperpigmented gingiva and palate diagnosed pathologically and immunohistochemically as malignant melanoma underwent surgical excision and a modified radical neck dissection.
