The study of ENT mucous melanomas (ENT MM) was performed retrospectively, based on 20 patients treated in Bordeaux and 156 detailed files taken from the international literature. Each paragraph is followed by a review of the general literature. The ENT MM, a rare form of melanomas, presents a majority of nasal locations. The mean age is 63 years old. The sex ratio trend is towards one. The aspecific call signs partially explain the delayed diagnosis. The difficult pathological examination is assisted by tumoral markers. Mean survival is two and a half years without any clear prognostic factors as for cutaneous melanomas. Treatment is essentially surgical, but adjuvant radiotherapy may have a significant effect. The other treatments are palliative.
