Abstract
Malignant melanoma is a malignant neoplasm composed of melanocytes or melanocytic precursors. Primary mucosal melanoma of the head and neck is a rare entity, in comparison than their cutaneous counterparts. The tumor occurs more frequently in the hard palate and gingival mucosa followed by mandibular gingiva, lip mucosa and other oral sites. The aim of this case report is to document a case of primary melanoma of lower lip with neck node secondaries in a 70year old male patient. This case is presented here for the rarity of tumor location
