Résumé
Pigmented lesions are a common finding in the oral cavity. Oral pigmented lesions may range from solitary to multiple, pinpoint to diffuse, and have a variety of clinical implications. Nearly all solitary pigmented lesions require a biopsy to rule out mucosal melanoma. Oral mucosal melanoma has a grim prognosis and early discovery is of utmost importance. Multiple pigmented lesions in the oral cavity may indicate a systemic condition about which the patient may not be aware. The presentation and management of these various lesions is the focus of this article.
