We report a case of an intramucosal palatal congenital melanocytic nevus (congenital melanocytic nevus) in a 34-year-old woman who presented with a painless nodular lesion arising from a lifelong pigmented area of the palate.

Histopathological examination demonstrated a benign proliferation of nevus cells with theques formation.

More results

The deepest nevus cells showed proximity to the adjacent minor salivary gland lobules.

The lesion was managed by complete surgical excision, with uneventful healing at 6-month follow-up.
