점막형 악성흑색종 10례에 대한 임상분석 결과 비강에서 가장 호발하였고 증상은 비폐색이 가장 많았다. 치료 성적은 수술을 우선적으로 선택한 후 방사선요법을 시행한 경우군에서 평균생존기간이 20.8개월이었고 방사선치료를 우선적으로 선택한 경우군에서는 14.7개월로, 접막형 악성흑색종의 경우 광범위 절제술 후 방사선요법을 시행하는 것이 도움이 될 것으로 생각되나 윈격전이 6례를 포함한 8례의 환자에서 재발이 있어 예후가 극히 불량한 암종으로 생각된다.

영문 초록

The biological behavior of mucosal melanoma is aggressive with frequent local recurrence and distant metastasis owing to the abundantly surrounding blood vessels and lymphatics adding to the fact that diagnosis is frequently delayed due to non-specific clinical outcome. The management for mucosal melanoma of the head and neck is controversial in view of the poor prognosis. Ten cases treated over the past 10 years are reported. The average age of the patients was 54.4 years. Seven cases were localized in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and three cases in the oral cavity and nasopharynx. Eight patients had local tumors, one had regional lymph node metastases and one hed lung metastases. Six patients underwent surgical resection, with postoperative radiotherapy in five patients, three patients received radiotherapy and one patient received combination therapy. Recurrence occured in 80% of the patients and the median time to recurrence was 10.5months. The median survival for those who received surgical resection followed by postoperative radiation therapy was 20.8 months and 14.7 months in the radiation therapy only treated group. The author's conclusion is that mucosal melanoma is a highly aggressive disease of the upper respiratory tract in which the best treatment modality is wide surgical resection followed by postoperative radiation therapy.
