Malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity occurs rarely. Malignant melanoma, originated from the upper respiratory tract including nasal cavity, has clinical feature of local recurrence and easily metastasizes to regional or distant lymph nodes, lung, and liver. Malignant melanoma originated from nasal cavity frequently shows tumor cell invasion, ulceration, or infection. Owing to these characteristics, complete surgical excision of the malignant melanoma in nasal cavity is not easy. And also the prognosis of this tumor is not so good because of a high recurrence rate. Recently the authors have recently experienced a case of malignant melanoma originated from the inferior turbinate, which was treated with lateral rhinectomy, total maxillectomy. The defect developed after surgical extirpation was reconstructed with rotational forehead flap.
