Congenital Melanocytic Nevus of the Oral Mucosa: Report of a Rare Pigmented Lesion and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Oral pigmented lesions are uncommon and congenital melanocytic nevi are especially rare. We report a case of a patient with multiple congenital melanocytic nevi including a palatal lesion. This is reported to add to the scant literature that exists on this subject. Prognosis and management are discussed.
