Abstract
Laugier-Hunziker syndrome (LHS) is characterized by lentiginous hyperpigmentation of the oral mucosa and lips. In addition, longitudinal melanonychia and palmoplantar hyperpigmented lesions may occur. LHS is a clinical diagnosis of exclusion. Herein, we report the case of a 66-year-old woman with LHS. The clinical and histopathologic features of LHS are presented and important differential diagnoses are discussed.Entities:
