Resumo: Fifty-six year old female, presented to the service in June/2021, complained of the appearance of a large, dark mass, lasting about 5 months. She also reported pain and weight loss. She has been a smoker since age 15 and also an alcoholic. On clinical examination, an exophytic, lobulated, pigmented and expansive nodule was observed, bleeding when touched, with firm consistency, affecting the right hard and soft palate, crossing the midline, and also extending to the upper attached gingiva on the same. An incisional biopsy was performed. Microscopic findings and an immunohistochemical panel confirmed the diagnosis of oral melanoma. The patient was referred to the oncology and head and neck surgery departments, performing a maxillectomy (August/2021). In November/2021, she started radiotherapy. In March 2022 osseous metastases were found in the left femur and pelvis, but radiotherapy was contraindicated by the surgeon. In August 2022 the patient passed away.
