pipe
treatment and prognosis for smoking associated melanosis
smoking cessation
needs biopsy if overlappingwith other signs and questionable characteristics
present as intraoral freckle
melanotic macule
post inflammatory pigmentation
macules associated with systemic diseases
melanotic macule
localization for melanotic macule
predominantly in any mucosal surface and vermillion of the lips
what are systemic conditions associated with oral melanotic macules
peuts-jeghers syndrom
addision’s disease
laugier-hunziker syndrome
bandler syndrom
normal numbers of melanocytes but increased melanin production
oral melanotic macule
melanomas, blue nevi, amalgam tattoos
consider systemic condition
oral melanotic macule
