Sinonasal tract mucosal melanoma.

چکیده
Mucosal melanoma is a neural-crest–derived neoplasm that originates in melanocytes and demonstrates melanocytic differentiation. Exposure to formalin and ultraviolet light are known etiologic factors; another possible factor is exposure to radiation. Approximately 15 to 20% of all skin melanomas develop on the head and neck, but less than 1% of all melanomas develop in ocular or mucosal sites, including the sinonasal tract.
