Dermatoscopy of an invasive melanoma on the upper lip shows possible association with Laugier–Hunziker syndrome

We report mucosal melanoma of the upper lip in a patient affected by the Laugier–Hunziker disease. Using dermatoscopy, two distinct parts were identified in the same mucosal area: nodular (malignant) and macular (benign). A complete surgical excision was performed and the patient has been free of disease for 16 months.
