Oral melanoacanthoma is an uncommon reactive condition that appears as a solitary pigmented lesion and is most often found on the buccal mucosa. For it to appear in the gingiva is extremely rare--only 11 cases are reported in the literature. This article presents a case of gingival melanoacanthoma and reviews the previously published cases. Because gingival melanoacanthoma shares clinical features with other pigmented lesions with diverse genesis, the differential diagnosis of a solitary pigmented lesion on the gingiva is also discussed.
口腔黑棘皮瘤是一种罕见的反应性病症,表现为单个色素沉着性病变,最常发生于颊黏膜。其出现在牙龈极为罕见——文献中仅报道过11例。本文介绍了1例牙龈黑棘皮瘤病例,并对既往发表的病例进行了回顾。由于牙龈黑棘皮瘤与其他多种起源的色素沉着性病变具有共同的临床特征,因此还讨论了牙龈单个色素沉着性病变的鉴别诊断。
