Abstract
Pigmented neoplasms of the skin and mucous membranes are a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant neoplasms, some of which are extremely rare in the practice of pediatric oncologist. Orolabial melanosis refers to a benign pigmented pathology of the skin and mucous membranes, requires differential diagnosis with ephelids, melanoma, and when localized on the tongue – with pigmented fungiform papillae of the tongue.
This article presents a clinical case of orolabial melanosis with localization on the tongue in a 9-year-old child that was not previously described in the domestic literature. The clinical, dermatoscopic, immuno-morphological and differential diagnostic features of this pathology are described in detail.
