Simultaneous occurrence of melanocytic nevus and melanotic macule in the vermilion of the lower lip

Resumo

Diagnosis of oral pigmented lesions in the oral cavity can be very challenging. While melanotic macule is considered the most frequent oral pigmented lesion, melanocytic nevi are uncommonly observed. This report describes an uncommon case of a young woman with simultaneous occurrence of oral melanocytic nevus (OMN) and oral melanotic macule (OMM) in the vermilion of the lower lip. The etiopathogenesis, histopathological characteristics and clinical management of these two pigmented oral lesions are discussed.
