This is the second case report in English literature of a primary non-cutaneous non mucosal melanoma (NCNM) originating from Infratemporal fossa (ITF). A 21 year woman who was previously treated for craniopharyngioma 14 years back with surgery and radiation, presented with left ITF swelling which after excision was histologically confirmed to be NCNM. She has been disease free till date. Therapeutic difficulties and diagnostic dilemmas in such a case are discussed. We propose the term of non cutaneous non mucosal melanoma (NCNM) for this rare entity.
