Vignesh Nr, Vipul Paul Thomas, Jayakar Thomas

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Laugier Hunziker syndrome is a rare acquired disorder characterized by longitudinal melanonychia which can</p> <div>involve few or all the nails and pigmented lesions over the oral cavity. This is considered to be a benign condition</div> <div>with no malignant potential. Hence proper examination is required to differentiate it from other conditions in which invasive treatment is</div> <div>warranted. Here, we report a 39-year-old female who presented with pigmented macules and patches over the lower lip, angles of mouth</div> <div>and gingiva of the upper incisors and canine with longitudinal melanonychia.</div>
