Abstract
Mucosal melanoma is a very rare disease. Most cases of mucosal melanoma have their origins in the head and neck region. To date, only three cases of melanoma originating from the eustachian tube have been reported. We present a case of mucosal melanoma of eustachian tube origin in which a complete excision was performed. The treatment of mucosal melanoma is not well established, but surgical excision is considered to be the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy is controversial but given consideration in the present case because of the anatomic complexity and difficulty in performing a complete excision. In this case, the patient underwent adjuvant radiotherapy and the mass size was greatly decreased which aided the subsequent surgical excision. Systemic chemotherapy was not utilized in this case. However, it is often used for palliative purposes. A literature review was conducted in the presentation of this case.
