SUMMARYA 66-year-old woman was treated with excision and cryotherapy for recurrent primary acquired melanosis (PAM) with atypia of the right conjunctiva. Four years later, she developed a melanoma of the ipsilateral inferior turbinate and nasolacrimal duct. She was treated with right medial maxillectomy and postoperative radiation therapy. This is the first reported case of conjunctival PAM resulting in delayed progression to melanoma in the nasolacrimal duct and sinonasal cavity. BACKGROUND

eck is the region, bounded by ramus and corpus of mandible in its anterior and lateral borders, and by mastoid bone apex and occipital protuberance in its posterior and by clavicula in its inferior borders bilaterally. Neck masses (NMs) usually create complicated problems that are often encountered by primary care physicians and family doctors Turkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2012;32(5) 1267Neck Masses: Retrospective Analysis of 981 Cases A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : The purpose of this study was to determine and discuss the diagnostic distribution, clinical behaviors and histopathological features of neck masses of patients who were followed-up in our department. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : A total number of 981 patients with neck masses, who attended the Department of Ear-Nose-Throat in Dicle University Medical School, between 1992 and 2010, were analyzed retrospectively. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : Among the 981 cases, 485 (49.5%) had a mass with neoplastic origin, whereas 383 (39%) had inflammatory and 113 (11.5%) had congenital neck masses. Approximately 69% of the neoplastic masses were malignant and 31% were benign in nature. The mean ages were 28.26±7.69 and 11.45±4.08 years in patients with inflammatory and congenital masses, respectively. The mean age of the patients diagnosed with benign neck masses was 35.5±5.80 years while the mean age of the patients with malignant masses was 49.22±11.68 years. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Neoplastic masses seem to be the most frequent cause of neck masses. Neck masses, especially in adults should be considered malignant until proven to be benign. In addition, biopsy specimens should not be obtained before a detailed ear, nose and throat examination of the patient.

Primary malignant melanoma (MM) in otorhinolaryngology is a rare disease that has a poor prognosis. There has been a significant increase in the incidence of MM in the nasal cavity in recent years. We performed surgery on four Turkish patients for intranasal MM during a 6-month period, and the cases were reviewed retrospectively. One patient underwent open surgery, and the other three underwent endoscopic resection. All four patients had microscopically negative surgical margins. One patient received treatment with radiotherapy during the postoperative period. A negative surgical margin and removal of mucosal melanocyt areas are important criteria for surgical success and a better prognosis.
