Abstract
Sinonasal malignant melanoma (SNMM) accounts for less than 1% of melanomas and less than 4% of sinonasal tumors. They are uncommon, aggressive tumors originating from mucosal melanocytes.[1] Elderly individuals often experience nonspecific symptoms, such as obstruction or epistaxis, which can lead to a delayed diagnosis. . In order to stop the tumor from spreading locally and regionally, an early and precise diagnosis is crucial because the tumor is extremely aggressive. The number of sinonasal malignant melanomas that have been reported and published has increased recently.
