Abstract

Laugier-Hunziker syndrome is a rare, acquired, benign hyperpigmentation of the lips, oral mucosa and nails. Although it is a benign disorder, other pigmentary disorders affecting the oral mucosa and nails must be considered in the different diagnosis. We presented a case of Laugier-Hunziker syndrome, showed clinical and histopathologic features of the disease.
