Abstract
The oral malignant melanoma (OMM) is a rare disease, accounting for 0.8% of all melanomas and 8% of head and neck melanomas and up to 0.5% of all oral malignancies in the world literature. This presents as a pigmented lesion with asymmetrical borders, irregular surface characteristics and distinct color. Moreover melanoma associated pigmented lesion of the oral cavity does not possess clinical specificity and divert the clinical diagnosis, so differential diagnosis becomes mandatory to explore it. The most unpredictable pathophysiological behavior and late detection, contributes for bad prognosis of the disease. As a result, the 5 years survival rate is 10% to 25%. Commonly it is seen with maxillary gingiva of males. However we report a case of a middle aged female having pigmentations and growth over mandibular gingiva.
