Abstract
Melanoma of the mucous membrane is a rare condition and has the worse prognosis than that of any other sites. It is usually asymptomatic in early stage and difficult to find out the primary lesion by visual examination, and these facts lead to delay in diagnosis and reduce the curability. The major factor of failure in treatment of melanoma is local recurrence rather than regional spread. Because the radical procedure is difficult in head and neck lesion due to anatomical limitation, radiation therapy and chemotherapy can be used in the treatment of local recurrence. We experienced two cases of nasopharyngeal melanoma in advanced stage and treated them with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. And both patients showed relatively favorable response to these palliative treatments.
