Zusammenfassung
Primäre mukosale Melanome sind aggressive Neoplasien, die nur äußerst selten am Zungengrund auftreten. Die initial diskrete Symptomatik, das Fehlen einer standardisierten Therapie, frühe Metastasierungstendenz sowie eine hohe Rezidivrate sind Ursachen für die insgesamt schlechte Prognose von Zungengrundmelanomen. Der vorliegende Artikel behandelt den Fall eines 66-jährigen Patienten mit dem Rezidiv eines primären Schleimhautmelanoms des Zungengrunds.
Abstract
Primary mucosal melanoma is a biologically aggressive neoplasm, which is rarely located at the base of the tongue. The absence of early signs and symptoms, the lack of an evidence-based treatment, the early development of metastases and high rates of local recurrence contribute to the overall poor prognosis of these melanomas. This paper reports the case of a 66-year-old male presenting with local recurrence of a primary melanoma of the base of the tongue.
