This document reports a case study of a 19-year-old man who presented with a non-pigmented lesion on his tongue. A biopsy found that the lesion was an amelanotic melanoma, which is a rare type of oral melanoma that lacks pigment. Immunohistochemistry testing confirmed the diagnosis of malignant melanoma. The case highlights that oral melanoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of both pigmented and non-pigmented oral lesions, regardless of a patient's age. A thorough examination and biopsy are important to properly diagnose rare cases of oral melanoma.
