Pigmented lesions are commonly found in the mouth. Such lesions represent a variety of clinical entities, ranging from physiologic changes to manifestations of systemic illnesses and malignant neoplasms. Evaluation of a patient presenting with a pigmented lesion should include a full medical and dental history, extraoral and intraoral examinations and, in some cases, biopsy and laboratory investigations. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for the assessment of pigmented lesions of the oral cavity, and 3 patients with such lesions are described.
色素沉着病变在口腔中很常见。这些病变代表了多种临床情况，从生理变化到全身性疾病和恶性肿瘤的表现。对出现色素沉着病变的患者进行评估应包括完整的医学和牙科病史、口腔外和口腔内检查，在某些情况下还应进行活检和实验室检查。本文提出了一种评估口腔色素沉着病变的算法，并描述了3例患有此类病变的患者。
