A Case Series on Intraoral Blue Nevi with a Literature Review-Based Clinico-Pathologic Comparison of Intraoral Blue Nevi with Other Oral Melanocytic Nevi

Nevi are pigmented lesions of bluish-black colour that may occasionally occur in the oral cavity. Out several melanocytic nevi (OMN), blue significant as some variants diagnostically challenging due to histopathological overlap with malignant melanoma. The aim present report was clinico-pathologic characteristics 8 new cases intraoral common and 22 OMN. A literature review-based comparison clinico-pathological intramucosal is presented. Analysis eight revealed they generally small less than 1 cm size colouration. These were commonly identified adults (88%), a female predilection. hard palate most site occurrence. findings could be collaborated observed review. It also nevus second lesion among all included series did not show recurrences or undergo transformation after being followed up for 15 years. Unlike nevus, reveals cellular its atypical variant more challenging, while diagnosis an epithelioid should investigations exclude Carney complex. In conclusion, this case review reveal OMN, including nevi, indolent extremely low potential. significantly smaller size, well-defined margins lack variegations features used clues differentiate from mucosal However, needs confirmed histopathology.
