    Area of Science:

    • Oral oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Malignant melanoma can occur in the oral region.
    • Oral melanomas are rare but aggressive.
    • Data on oral melanoma incidence and characteristics in Singapore is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze cases of oral malignant melanoma in Singapore.
    • To review the literature on oral melanoma.
    • To determine the incidence, clinical presentation, and prognosis of oral melanomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of nine oral malignant melanoma cases from 1968-1982.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentation, and treatment.
    • Literature review of oral melanoma studies.

    Main Results:

    • Nine cases of oral malignant melanoma were identified over 15 years.
    • The hard palate was the most common site.
    • Patients typically presented late, with a poorer prognosis than cutaneous melanomas.
    • Incidence was approximately 6% of all malignant melanomas.
    • No significant difference in sex incidence was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Oral malignant melanoma is a rare but serious condition in Singapore.
    • Late presentation contributes to the poor prognosis.
    • Further research is needed to improve early detection and outcomes.
