Primary mucosal melanoma of the paranasal sinuses is a rare tumor of the head and neck which can be a devastating disease. Cancers arising in the sinonasal cavity are extremely rare, with a poor survival rate. There is inherent difficulty in diagnosing these lesions due to their complex anatomic locations and symptoms which are often confused with more common benign processes. The primary treatment of this rare disease process is resection, except in advanced stages where surgical resection is not an option. Diagnostic accuracy in consideration of size, location, and presence of metastatic disease of these malignant tumors tailors individual patients to different management in order to achieve the longest possible survival.
鼻窦原发性黏膜黑色素瘤是一种罕见的头颈部肿瘤，可能是一种毁灭性疾病。鼻窦腔内发生的癌症极为罕见，生存率很低。由于这些病变的解剖位置复杂，症状常与更常见的良性疾病相混淆，因此诊断这些病变存在固有困难。这种罕见疾病的主要治疗方法是切除，除非在晚期无法进行手术切除。考虑到这些恶性肿瘤的大小、位置和转移疾病情况进行准确诊断，为个体患者制定不同的治疗方案，以实现尽可能长的生存期。
