Non pigmented melanocytic nevus of the oral cavity. A case report
We report a case of a 37-year-old caucasian female presenting a 1 cm pinkish nodular asymptomatic lesion of the hard palate, slowly growing in the last years. A diagnosis of non pigmented melanocytic nevus was formulated by means of an oral biopsy. Because of its rarity and to avoid any risk of malignant transformation, a surgical treatment with wide excision was chosen; the surgical wound was previously covered with a membrane of fibrin and autologous platelets, and subsequently sutured, resulting in a total heal. This procedure seems to be the most reliable to approach melanocytic lesions of the oral cavity.
