Complete spontaneous regression of a metastatic melanoma of the mandible: a case report and follow-up recommendations

Regression of metastatic melanoma is very rare and occurs in only 0.23% of cases. Metastasis to the oral cavity is particularly uncommon and accounts for only 1–3% of all oral malignancies. This report presents a case of spontaneous and complete regression of a metastatic melanoma in the mandibular ramus. The patient remains asymptomatic more than 2 years after diagnosis. The patient was followed up regularly. It is recommended that further surveillance imaging be performed in asymptomatic patients following discussion with the surgical and oncological teams.
