A labial melanotic macule is a well-defined, oval, brown to black, flat patch on the central third of the lower lip. It is the name for a freckle arising on the lip. It is also sometimes called a labial lentigo and when multiple lesions are present, mucosal melanosis. What are the clinical features of labial melanotic freckle The histopathology of labial melanotic macules (appearing on the lips or oral mucosa) and vulvar and penile melanotic macules are similar to cutaneous lentigo simplex, however acanthosis is less prominent Background: Genital melanotic macules are poorly recognized lesions, which appear as isolated discrete macules. Their occurrence, usually as new pigmented lesions in adult life, can cause concern because they can mimic early melanoma Mucosal melanotic macules (J Am Acad Dermatol 2000;42:640, J Am Acad Dermatol 2014;70:e81) Clinical presentation: Dark asymmetrical macules. Histologic features: Hyperpigmentation of basal keratinocytes Melanocyte density is usually normal or very mildly increased No nested or confluent proliferation of melanocytes. Normal vulvar pigmentatio
A clinical and histologic study of eighty oral melanotic lesions which do not readily fit into recognized categories of melanotic lesions was conducted. These lesions tend to occur in the fifth decade of life and are most frequently seen on the gingiva, with the buccal mucosa and palate the next most frequent sites While histology is nonspecific, labial melanotic macules generally have increased melanin in melanocytes, basal layer keratinocytes, and melanophages in the dermal papillae. A mild degree of acanthosis without elongation of rete ridges may be present. Nuclear atypia is absent. Melanocyte count is normal (Figure 2, Figure 3) Melanotic macules are well-demarcated, fl at, pigmented lesions caused by a deposit of abundant melanin in the basal layer of the epidermis, accompanied by a slight or undetectable increase in the number of melanocytes

Objective: Our purpose was to define the clinical, histologic, immunohistochemical, and electronmicroscopic features of genital melanotic macules The labial melanotic macule and melanoacanthoma demonstrate histologic features strikingly different from those of melanoma. Although intraepithelial dendritic melanocytes are seen in melanoacanthoma, they are mostly present in the lower portions of the epithelium, and there is no full-thickness haphazard dispersion of atypical single and.
Progressive macular hypomelanosis is usually diagnosed by clinical suspicion and supported by the presence of fluorescence on Wood light examination. The hair follicles fluoresce with a red glow, indicating they are colonised by P. acnes. Dermoscopy shows poorly-defined white macules with faint reticular pigmentation In this review, we discuss and provide a summary of important clinical and histopathological concepts of pigmented lesions of the nail unit with special focus on longitudinal melanonychia, melanotic macule, melanocytic nevus, subungual melanoma, along with discussion of some nonmelanocytic lesions Melanotic macules (mucosal melanosis) Melanotic macule is the most common pigmented lesion located in the oral cavity. Lesions located on the lip are termed lip melanotic macule, whereas the those located intra-orally are termed oral melanotic macule. Melanotic macules are benign lesions and have a tendency to spontaneous regression Lentigo maligna clinically presents as a pigmented, asymmetric macule that originates on the head and neck and spreads slowly. The preferred method for diagnosing lentigo maligna is excisional biopsy. Histology shows proliferation of atypical melanocytes at the epidermal-dermal junction in small nests or single cells
Conclusions: This study documents a case of primary oral melanoma arising from an apparent oral melanotic macule and suggests that even histologically benign-appearing oral melanotic lesions should perhaps be viewed with caution if increased numbers of melanocytes (melanocytic hyperplasia or clear cell activity) are present A mucosal melanocytic macule is a well-defined, oval, brown to black, flat patch, usually found on the lip (a labial melanocytic macule). Lesions can also be found in the mouth (oral melanotic macule), on the vulva (vulval labial melanotic macule; vulval melanosis) or on the penis (penile melanotic macule) Diagnosis is often delayed because it presents with minimal nail changes and mimics a number of benign nail conditions. We report a 43-year-old Chinese man who presented with a three-year history of an indolent melanotic macule of the fingernail. Histology from a punch biopsy revealed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma
These pigmented lesions occur on the skin, and in and around the oral cavity. Those occurring on mucosal surfaces demonstrate the histologic changes of labial melanotic macules [43, 44]. Prominent palmoplantar pigmentation with lentigo simplex-like histology on acral skin is also described in these patients [45, 46] oral melanotic macule histology. oral melanotic macule-do you treat?-what is the preferred tx-malignant potential?-can look similar to what •don't need to treat except for esthetics •excisional biopsy (remove the whole thing) is the preferred treatment •no malignant potentia

melanotic macules can appear on the gingiva, buccal mucosa, palate, and tongue; Labial melanotic macules usually occur on the vermilion of the lower lip. Lesions for both are usually solitary, symmetric, and asymptomatic. Vulvar and penile lentigo are benign lesions similar to labial melanotic macules. In men, the most common sites are the glan Melanotic Macules of Oral Mucosa are observed on the lips, in the mouth, on the tongue, etc. It is a commonly observed skin condition that is seen in many children and adults. The presence of numerous melanotic macules on the body may be associated with a variety of syndromes including Carney complex, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and LEOPARD syndrome Skin and tumor tissue samples were examined by routine histology, immunohistochemistry, and in one case also by electron microscopy. Results: Two patients developed diffuse melanotic macules and papules associated with visceral adenocarcinoma. One patient was a 64-year-old man with advanced carcinoma of the distal esophagus
ABSTRACT: Oral nevi, melanotic macules on the lip, atypical amalgam tattoos, melanoacanthomas, and lesions caused by embedded foreign bodies or by perforating injuries of the oral mucosa all require biopsy, since they can resemble melanoma. An important clue in diagnosing melanoma is its marked tendency to ulcerate in the oral cavity. The amelanotic form may be mistaken for a pyogenic. Labial Melanotic Macule. Brown macules on the lower lip are relatively common, especially in young adult women. Histologically, they resemble freckles and not lentigo, but unlike freckles, they do not darken with sun exposure. They are benign. Cryotherapy or laser surgery is used for patients who request treatment Oral malignant melanoma is largely a disease of those older than 40 years, and it is rare in patients younger than 20 years. The average patient age at diagnosis is 56 years. Oral malignant melanoma is commonly diagnosed in men aged 51-60 years, whereas it is commonly diagnosed in females aged 61-70 years • A series of 41 cases of melanotic lesions of the lip from 1980 to 1984 are reported. These lesions occur preponderantly in young white women on the lower lip. The term labial melanotic macule is suggested for these lesions.(Arch Dermatol 1987;123:1029-1031

Oral melanotic macules are found primarily in adults over 40 years of age. Some authors report a slight female predilection, whereas others describe both sexes being affected equally. The most common sites are the vermilion border, followed by the gingiva, the buccal mucosa and the palate Penile Melanotic Macules are observed on the penis, usually in adult men; the macules may be present on the shaft of the penis or on the glans penis. The presence of numerous melanotic macules on the body may be associated with a variety of syndromes including Carney complex, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and LEOPARD syndrome
Eruptive melanotic macules and papules associated with adenocarcinoma Eruptive melanotic macules and papules associated with adenocarcinoma Busam, Klaus J.; Sachs, Dana L.; Coit, Daniel G.; Halpern, Allan; Hwu, Wen‐Jen 2003-01-01 00:00:00 A wide variety of cutaneous manifestations may be associated with malignancies, such as metastatic tumor deposits to the skin, syndromes produced by tumor. In melanin‐laden cells observed in melanotic macules, many melanosome complexes with hydrolytic enzyme activity and a small number of single melanosomes were recognized. We assumed that some or many of the melanin‐laden, melanophage‐like cells in the upper dermis of a regressing malignant melanoma might be effete melanoma cells

Benign melanotic macules can be considered as the mucosal counterpart of lentigos. They present clinically as flat, smooth-bordered, well-defined pigmented lesions. Many variants can be included in this category including oral (labial) melanotic macule, genital melanotic macule, melanosis of the areola, melanosis of acral sites, and melanotic. Transient neonatal pustular melanosis (TNPM) is a harmless skin condition of newborns. The lesions of TNPM are present from birth. They begin as 2-3 mm vesiculopustules (blisters) that are not surrounded by any erythema (redness). These blisters easily rupture, leaving pigmented macules (spots) with a tell-tale collarette of scale histology and these two types tend to show differences clinically .They arejunctional nevi and compound nevi.Both are tend to be appear as brown in colour and may be flat macules or nodular ,sharply defined borders and asymptomatic and most common sites are palate and gingiva (4)(2).

Riehl melanosis typically presents as patchy to diffuse pigmentation, often with a slightly scaly skin surface and satellite pigmented follicular-based macules. The reticular pattern is often observed at the center of the pigmented areas. Some patients complain of erythema, edema, and pruritus preceding the occurrence of the pigmentation macules, intestinal hamartomatous polyposis and an increased risk of cancer in many organs, including the small intestine, colon, stomach, pancreas, breast and genital tract.6 The melanotic spots of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are characteristically small and multiple, and are very obvious around the lips.
