Abstract
- Pigmented fungiform papillae of the tongue are characterized clinically by pigmentation confined to these papillae and histopathologically by melanophages in the lamina propriae. We report a case of pigmented fungiform papillae of the tongue in a 24-year-old Korean woman who has a dark brown-colored pigmented lesion on the anterolateral fungiform papillae.
