ABSTRACT
There is a current tendency to believe that malignant melanoma originate from epidermal melanocyte rather than from pigmented cell of the upper dermis. Approximately 15% of all malignant melanoma in the body occur in head and neck regions. The majority of the patients were in the sixth & seventh decade. A case of malignant melanoma in the occipital region in a 2-year-old girl is reported. Physical and X-ray studies showed a large brownish pigmented mass with ulcerated surface and small bony defect in the occipital region.
