Abstract:
Nevus cell nevi and melanocytic nevi are much less common in the oral cavity than on the skin. In the oral cavity, the intramucosal(intradermal) nevus is the most common type, followed by the common blue nevus and the compound nevus. We describe a case of a 32-year-old woman who had an intramucosal nevus with pigmented, verrucous surface arising from the gingiva. The lesion had been excised completely and showed no evidence of recurrence.
