Title: [Malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses]. Author: Rodrigo Tapia JP, Alvarez Alvarez I, Fernández Martínez JA, Suárez Nieto C. Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 1996; 47(4):287-90. PubMed ID: 8962730. Abstract: Malignant melanomas represent about 3% of all nasosinusal neoplasms. They usually are located in the nasal septum and their maximum incidence is in the sixth and seventh decades. In the early stages they are asymptomatic, which delays diagnosis and reduces the possibilities of cure to 15-30%. Eight cases of nasosinusal melanoma are reported and their characteristics are reviewed with special attention to prognostic factors.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
