Abstract
- The Laugier-Hunziker syndrome represents a rare, acquired, benign, pigmentary disorder of the lips, oral mucosa, and nails. The nails are often involved with the development of melanonychia, which may be due to focal melanocyte activation. The lips and the mucous membranes show a variable number of flat, gray to brown-black lenticular spots, which are usually asymptomatic. We report the third case of Laugier-Hunziker syndrome in the Korean literatures.
