Nazolakrimal Sistemin Primer Mukozal Malign Melanomu

Nazolakrimal sistemin mukozal malign melanomu nadir görülür ve son derece agresiv seyreder. Bu tümörler kendini epifora, kanlı gözyaşı, epistaksis ve tümör büyüdükçe de kitle oluşturarak belli eder. Literatür incelendiğinde bu tümörlere ait çalışmalar oldukça az sayıdadır. Bizim vakamız 3 aydır devam eden sol gözde kanlı sulanma ve 2 aydır burun kanaması şikayeti olan, 92 yaşında erkek hasta idi. Nazal endoskopide alt meatusta görülen kitleden alınan biyopsi ile nazolakrimal sistem malign melanomu tanısı konulup, literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.

Primary Mucosal Malignant Melanoma of the Nasolacrimal System

Mucosal malignant melanoma of the nasolacrimal system is rare and usually has an aggressive clinical course. These tumors present themselves with epiphora, bloody tears and epistaxis, and as the tumor grows, with a mass. Regarding these tumors, the number of studies in the literature is relatively small in number. Our case was a 92-year-old male who had presented with bloody lacrimation in the left eye for the previous three months and epistaxis for the previous two months. The histopathological diagnosis of the biopsy obtained from the mass observed at the inferior meatus during nasal endoscopy was “Malignant melanoma of the nasolacrimal system”. The patient is presented under the light of the relevant literature.
