Intraoral melanoacanthoma: a reactive melanocytic hyperplasia. Case report. uri icon

abstract

  • Melanoacanthoma was originally described as a benign skin tumor of keratinocytes and dendritic melanocytes. There is now evidence that the intraoral lesions are unlike those occurring on skin. This article documents the reactive and reversible nature of the oral condition in a patient with these lesions.
