Summary : The mucosal melanoma of the head and neck is rare and of late diagnosis. This retrospective study concerns 17 cases brought together in 30 years. Sex-ratio was of 1,1, the average age of 58 years. Tumoral seats were the following ones : nasal cavity and paranasal sinus (n=10), nasopharyngeal cavity (n=2), gingival seat (n=2), palate (n=1), laryngeal seat (n=1), middle ear (n=1). Tumoral extension was classified an follows: stage I: 52,9%, stage II: 17,6%, stage III: 29,4%. Melanomas were achromic in 23,5% of cases. On the therapeutic plan, 47,1% of the patients were treated in a purpose palliative because of the importance of the tumoral extension. Seven patients (41,2%) were treated surgically ; three among them received an additional radiotherapy for an insufficient tumoral excision or adenopathy in break capsular. Two patients (11,8%) were treated by exclusive radiotherapy. The rates of survival were 17,6% in 2 years, and 5,9% in 5 years. The average duration of survival was of 18,1 months. The causes of failure were essentially local and metastatic.
