Malignant melanoma may metastasize to virtually any organs. Metastases to the oral cavity are uncommon and tongue metastases are very rare. The patient was a 79-year-old woman with cutaneous malignant melanoma. Lesion was widely excised and lymph node dissection was performed. She also had adjuvant chemotherapy. She is the unique malignant melanoma case who had recurrence on tongue 10 years later in literature. In conclusion, the prognosis of patients with tongue metastasis is poor and most of these patients have underlying widespread diseases.
恶性黑色素瘤几乎可转移至任何器官。转移至口腔并不常见,而转移至舌部则极为罕见。该患者为一名79岁患有皮肤恶性黑色素瘤的女性。病变被广泛切除并进行了淋巴结清扫。她还接受了辅助化疗。她是文献中报道的唯一一例10年后舌部复发的恶性黑色素瘤病例。总之,舌部转移患者的预后较差,且这些患者大多伴有潜在的广泛病变。
