Abstract
Primitive malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity is a rare tumour of uncertain aetiology and bad prognosis. Unlike skin melanomas, there are no risk factors and the disease is frequently diagnosed in old patients, which clinical complaints are normally non-specific and ranges from nasal obstruction, rhinorrhoea to epistaxis. In most cases this disease is diagnosed in advanced stages which make the treatment difficult.
