Popis:	The present case report comprises of an unusual presentation of oral malignant melanoma which occurred in the furcation area of maxillary right first molar. A clinician may not suspect a malignant neoplasm and the histopathological examination of the tissue may be missed out in such cases. Without any obvious clinical or radiological features, the lesion mimicked a periapical granuloma. The diagnosis was achieved after a thorough histopathological examination and extensive immunohistochemistry panel to rule out other similar histopathological entities.
