ABSTRACT

La melanoacantosis es una lesión pigmentada bucal rara. Al observarse en el microscopio se aprecia una acantosis del epitelio superficial y presencia de melanocitos dendríticos. Las localizaciones más frecuentes son la encía, el paladar, el labio y las mucosas yugales. A pesar de que su patogénesis no se conoce bien, se sugiere que es una lesión de origen reactivo. Es importante realizar la biopsia para hacer el diagnóstico diferencial con otras lesiones pigmentadas, principalmente el melanoma.


Melanoacanthosis is a rare pigmented oral lesion. Under the microscope, acanthosis of the surface epithelium is observed, together with the pres-ence of dendritic melanocytes. The most commonly affected sites are the gums, palate, lips, and oral mucosa. Although the pathogenesis of melanoacanthosis is not well understood, the clinical behavior of lesions is suggestive of a reactive origin. Biopsy is important in order to make a differential diagnosis with other pigmented lesions, primarily melanoma.
