Primary oral mucosal melanoma is an extremely rare tumor. The aggressive behavior of the tumor together with other factors worsens the prognosis. The absence of standardized treatment protocol also contributes to the decrease in the survival rate. Eight human oral mucosal melanoma cases were evaluated clinically and histopathologically. Results revealed that even a surgical margin of 2 cm might contain atypical melanocytic proliferation, which may increase the risk of local recurrence. In addition to this, events of skip lesions and an increase in thickness of the tumor may also contribute to the risk of local recurrence. These suggest that oral mucosal melanoma’s prognostic factors are different from that of cutaneous melanoma and oral mucosal melanoma has a more aggressive behavior than its cutaneous counterpart. This study was to evaluate the clinical and histopathological findings of oral mucosal melanoma. Furthermore, the surgical margins were likewise assessed and correlated to the prognosis of the tumor.
