Abstract
Desmoplastic malignant melanoma (DMM) is a distinctive variant of malignant melanoma. DMM involving the oral mucosa is very rare and to our knowledge, there are only 16 cases reported in the English literature. This is a case report of DMM in a 32-year-old male patient involving the maxillary alveolus.
