Oral melanocytic nevi are rare, benign tumors of unknown etiology that develop from melanocytes. The hard palate is where oral nevi most frequently occur, followed by the gingiva and buccal mucosa. Although asymptomatic, their clinical characteristics frequently necessitate a careful diagnosis of other pigmented diseases, including malignant melanoma. This report describes a rare instance of blue nevus in an eight-year-old female patient on the attached gingiva of the lower lip front region of the jaw. This case emphasizes how crucial it is to differentiate blue nevi from other melanocytic lesions using thorough clinical and histological analysis in order to guarantee an accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment, especially for children.
口腔黑素细胞痣是一种病因不明的罕见良性肿瘤,由黑素细胞发展而来。硬腭是口腔痣最常发生的部位,其次是牙龈和颊黏膜。尽管无症状,但它们的临床特征常常需要仔细诊断其他色素沉着疾病,包括恶性黑色素瘤。本报告描述了一名8岁女性患者在下颌下唇前部附着龈出现蓝色痣的罕见病例。该病例强调了通过全面的临床和组织学分析将蓝色痣与其他黑素细胞病变区分开来的重要性,以便确保准确诊断和适当治疗,尤其是对儿童而言。
