title: [Epithelioid amelanotic melanoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses].
abstract: Mucous melanomas are rare, representing 1-3% of melanomata and 3% of malignant nasosinusal tumors. The more usual location is the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In early stages occur with a poor and unespecific features, which delays the diagnosis and worsen the prognosis. An amelanotic melanoma case is reported and bibliographic review of these tumors are made.
