Melanoma of the sinonasal cavity has a high incidence of amelanotic presentation. Its diagnosis is difficult for clinicians and pathologists because of its hidden location and lack of pigmentation at the microscopic level. We reported a case of amelanotic melanoma of the maxillary sinus that showed aggressive extension to the oral cavity after extraction of the maxillary tooth. Histologically, the lesion resembled a plasmacytoid tumour. Diagnosis was made through the positive immunohistochemical staining for S100 and HMB-45.
鼻窦黑色素瘤无色素表现的发生率很高。由于其位置隐匿且在微观层面缺乏色素沉着,临床医生和病理学家对其诊断都很困难。我们报告了一例上颌窦无色素黑色素瘤病例,该病例在上颌牙拔除后显示出向口腔的侵袭性扩展。组织学上,病变类似于浆细胞样肿瘤。通过S100和HMB - 45免疫组化染色阳性做出诊断。
