Café au lait pigmentation
These lesions have the colour of coffee and cream that
varies from small to large diffuse macule.
They are found in two rare conditions;
neurofibromatosis and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.

(A) Multiple neurofibromatosis (Von Recklinghausen’s
disease of skin)
It is an inherited autosomal dominant condition
which is characterized by proliferation of fibrous
element of nerve sheath and cafe au lait
Clinical Features
(1) Multiple nodules:
Sessile or pedunculated, superficial or deep
nodules that mainly affect the trunk.
Malignant transformation to neurogenic
sarcoma is common in 5 % of cases. The
lesion may involve the whole body causing
cosmetic problem.
Tongue involvement results in multiple
nodules due to proliferation of fibrous
element of lingual nerve. In addition,
macroglossia, scrotal tongue and enlarged
fungiform papillae had been reported

(2) Neurologic manifestation:
Centrally located lesions within bone cavities are
associated with neurological manifestations such as
pain, deafness, seizures, mental retardation and
headache.
Mandibular nerve involvement can be detected
radiographically as radiolucent area and is
associated with lip numbness and pain.

Clinical Features:
(i) Nevocellular nevi:
Junctional nevi:
Nevus cells maintain their location at the junction of the
epithelium and connective tissue.
They are flat, brown round and oval lesions.

Compound nevi:
Nevus cells proliferate down into the connective tissue.
They are dome-shaped, brown lesions.

Intradermal/intramucosal nevi:
Nevus cells are localized in connective tissue.
They appear as elevated brown nodules.

(ii) Blue nevi:

The nevus cells reside deeply in connective tissue. On skin they
appear blue in colour because the overlying vessels dampen the
brown colour of melanin.

Endocrinopathic Pigmentation
Bronzing of skin and patchy melanosis of
the oral mucous membrane are features of
adrenal cortex insufficiency (Addison’s
disease) or hyperfunction of pituitary
gland (due to increased ACTH).
The oversecretion of ACTH results in
melanosis since it is a hormone that have
stimulating properties on melanocytes.

HIV Oral Melanosis
HIV positive patients show
hyperpigmentation of the nails and mucous
membrane. The etiology is unknown but
may be due to the destruction of adrenal
cortex (Addison’s disease).

Black Hairy Tongue
Exogenous pigmentation
(1) Amalgam tattoo
Etiology
Amalgam tattoo is due to iatrogenic factors. For
example:
Dentist’s bur loaded with small fragment of amalgam
particles that accumulate during removal of amalgam may
accidentally introduce the metal flecks into the oral
mucosa.
Metal particles may fall unnoticed into extraction socket.

Clinical Features
Grey or black macule on gingiva, palate or buccal
mucosa.
Amalgam tattoo is not harmful so its removal is not
required.
Biopsy is necessary if the lesion arises at areas distant from
any restoration to exclude melanoma
Amalgam Tattoo
(2) Graphite tattoo
It is due to traumatic implantation of graphite
from lead pencil, commonly seen on palate.
The patient may not recall the injury since the
event usually occurs during grade school.

(3) Metallic intoxication
High levels of heavy metals or metal salts may
result in metallic intoxication.
The exposure of the body to heavy metals may be
either:
Occupational hazard: as workers in lead factories.
Therapeutic hazard: as certain drugs, that contain salts
of heavy metals (bismuth, gold, mercury.
