Malignant melanoma of the oral caity

Malignant melanoma of the oral cavity is a rare neoplasm and it is only 0.5 % of the malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity, and less than 10 % of all the malignant melanomas. The mean age for patients with oral melanoma is from 40 to 70 years; with a higher frequency between the 50 and 60 years. Pi...

The mean age for patients with oral melanoma is from 40 to 70 years; with a higher frequency between the 50 and 60 years. Pigmentation areas are frequently noted before diagnosis of this neoplasm. Some predisposing factors are mechanical traumas resulting from not well adapted prostheses, solar radiation, and chemicals. Although oral cavity melanomas can remain asymptomatic during a time, the clinical presentations include hemorrhage, ulceration and pain. Melanomas grow fast, generally in a vertical growth phase, with early invasion of bones and lymphatic nodes. The prognosis for patients with melanoma is poor with a 5-year survival rate. The election treatment is surgical. The early diagnosis, the recognition of the lesions for doctors and odontologists, and the biopsy of recent or old pigmentation areas in the mouth that they have some changes (ulceration, bleeding , etc.) will contribute to offer patients amore effective treatment and a higher survival rate. We will present the case study of a 78-year-old male patient with a tumor in the dental ridge surrounded by melanotic spots, which was diagnosed as invasive melanoma and confirmed with immunohistochemical techniques. El melanoma de la cavidad oral es una neoplasia rara que representa sólo el 0,5 % de las neoplasias malignas de la cavidad oral y menos del 10 %de todos los melanomas de la economía. Su mayor incidencia está entre los 40 y 70 años con un pico entre los 50 y 60 años. Es frecuente el hallazgo delesiones pigmentadas como antecedente de esta neoplasia. Entre los factores predisponentes se incluyen traumas mecánicos por prótesis mal adaptadas, radiación solar y agentes químicos. Aunque el melanoma de cavidad oral puede permanecer asintomático durante un tiempo, la presentación clínica incluye hemorragia, ulceración y dolor. Su crecimiento es rápido y en general de tipo vertical, con precoz invasión a estructuras óseas y ganglionares. Es de mal pronóstico, con unaescasa sobrevida a los 5 años, siendo el tratamiento de elección quirúrgico. El diagnóstico precoz, el reconocimiento de las lesiones por médicos y odontólogos y la biopsia de las lesiones pigmentadas de la boca, recientes o antiguas, que experimenten cambios (úlcera, sangrado, etc.) contribuirán paraofrecer al paciente un tratamiento más efectivo y una mayor sobrevida. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de 78 años de edad con una lesión tumoral en el reborde dental, rodeada de manchas melánicas, la cual fue diagnosticada como consistente con melanoma invasor y confirmado con técnicas de inmunohistoquímica Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
