Abstract | ||
A case of a 41 years old male with a nodular lesion at the tip of the tongue is presented. Incisional biopsy showed malignant growth with nonspecific features. Although the lesion showed no pigmentation; positivity for Melan-A was detected leading to the diagnosis of Amelanotic melanoma. The patient was treated later with excision and neck dissection. | ||
