AbstractOral mucosal melanoma (OMM) represents an extremely rare entity that is associated with a poor prognosis due to late diagnosis and early metastasis. Here, extensive surgical therapy is the therapy of choice. In contrary, for OMM in situ, the respective therapeutical recommendations are lacking. In this case report, treatment modalities of an OMM in situ of the palate, including the maxillary alveolar process, are reported. The tumor relapsed twice despite adequate surgical therapy and reconstruction. Therefore, irradiation was performed as an adjuvant therapy. At a follow-up of two years, the patient was free from recurrences.
