Abstract
A pigmented lesion of the oral cavity should be viewed with suspicion since melanoma of the oral cavity is often asymptomatic in its early stages and often is diagnosed after it has invaded. In this particular case, astute observation and a prompt referral led to a diagnosis of oral melanoma-in-situ in the anterior palate and its successful treatment.
