Abstract
Benign pigmented lesions on the oral mucosa are occasional findings that are physiologically or pathologically determined. Such lesions can occur in healthy individuals or as a manifestation of systemic disease. The pigmented lesions are presented as melanoplakia, melanocytic macule, melanocytic nevus or melanoacanthoma. Without appropriate treatment, they could transform into malignant melanoma. The purpose of the presentation at hand is to exhibit a case of focal oral pigmentation on the gingiva of the mandible of 17-years old patient without other comorbidities. The lesion subsequently is excised and pathohystologically examined in order to determine the diagnosis. Patient's recovery was uneventful, no complications are registered during the 6-months follow-up period.
