Mucosal malignant melanoma of the head and neck is a rare diagnosis. The safety and efficacy of salvage neck dissection following carbon–ion radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy are not well described, and carbon–ion radiation protocols have not been fully developed. A 77 year old woman with crT0N1M0 mucosal melanoma of the head and neck achieved a complete response following initial treatment with carbon–ion radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy. She was treated with salvage neck dissection for as a cervical lymph node metastasis 16 months after initial treatment. She experienced neither Clavien-Dindo Grade 3 or 4 postoperative complications nor subsequent recurrence of disease at 3 months following salvage neck dissection. Surgical specimens may be useful for future precision oncology based on the molecular biology of recurrence melanoma with poor prognosis.

ABSTRACT Locally advanced head and neck cancers are usually treated with concurrent chemoradiation. The residual nodes after chemoradiation in such patients are a common scenario, but the further investigation and treatment options in form of neck dissection are still not very clear. This review focuses on the current state of available evidence in literature for management of such patients and directs for the future development to fill the lacunae.
