    Area of Science:

    • Oral oncology
    • Dermatopathology
    • Surgical oncology

    Background:

    • Primary oral malignant melanoma (OMM) is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
    • OMM often presents insidiously, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • This report details three cases of primary OMM.
    • Two patients experienced fatal metastatic disease at 12 and 33 months post-diagnosis.
    • The third patient, alive at 27 months, presented with liver metastases.

    Findings:

    • The clinical presentation of OMM can be variable and challenging to diagnose.
    • Metastatic progression is a common and often fatal outcome for OMM.
    • Liver metastasis was observed in one of the presented cases.

    Implications:

    • Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for improving OMM patient outcomes.
    • Understanding the clinical behavior of OMM is essential for effective management.
    • Further research into OMM treatment strategies and prognostic factors is warranted.
