Intraoral melanoacanthoma is a rare, reactive pigmented lesion that is mostly seen in black individuals with a tendency to occur more frequently in younger females. The color of melanoacanthoma may vary from brown to black, and it is commonly seen as a solitary lesion in the buccal mucosa. This lesion requires no treatment, and no malignant potential has been observed to date. The clinical presentation of multifocal oral melanoacanthoma (MOMA) (the rate of growth and the recurrence) is usually diagnostic. On the other hand, solitary oral melanoacanthoma might be difficult to diagnose, and a biopsy should be performed and examined by a well-trained oral pathologist. Here, we report two cases of MOMA with an unusual location in one case.
口腔黑素棘皮瘤是一种罕见的反应性色素沉着病变,多见于黑人个体,更倾向于在年轻女性中更频繁地发生。黑素棘皮瘤的颜色可从棕色到黑色不等,通常表现为颊黏膜上的单个病变。这种病变无需治疗,迄今为止未观察到恶变潜能。多灶性口腔黑素棘皮瘤(MOMA)的临床表现(生长速度和复发情况)通常具有诊断意义。另一方面,单发性口腔黑素棘皮瘤可能难以诊断,应进行活检并由训练有素的口腔病理学家进行检查。在此,我们报告两例MOMA病例,其中一例位置不寻常。
