[Malignant melanoma of the nasal fossae with a course of more than 8 years (author's transl)].
Two important points are emphasized:--1 to 2% of tumours of the nasal fossae are melanomas.--40% of melanomas of the cervico-facial region are situated in the nasal fossae. This case was felt worthy of publication, its course being remarkable by virtue of its duration:--9 years. In addition, the various therapeutic procedures were not followed by the classical acute exacerbations. These enabled this patient to have a virtually normal life for an extremely long period.
