Surgical Management of Primary Nasal Mucosal Melanoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma (PSMM) is a rare and aggressive malignancy of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. PSMM presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its nonspecific symptoms, complex anatomy, and high recurrence rate. Due to its vague symptoms, diagnosis is often delayed, leading to poor outcomes. Early detection and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for improving prognosis. Surgical excision with clear margins remains the primary treatment, while the role of adjuvant therapies continues to develop. We present the case of a 56-year-old male patient with progressive left-sided nasal obstruction, intermittent epistaxis, and anosmia. Nasal endoscopy revealed a pigmented mass in the left nasal cavity. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of mucosal melanoma. The patient underwent endoscopic surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, with no postoperative complications. He remains under close follow-up. This report aims to highlight the surgical approach to a rare case of PSMM. This case highlights the importance of early detection and intervention and underscores the need for continued case reporting to inform future management approaches.
