ABSTRACT
Menalocytic nevi are benign localized pigmented lesions, which usually occur on the cutaneous surface of the body but rarely on the mucous membranes. It is comparatively easy to encounter pigmented lesions of the oral cavity, but the melanocytic nevi of the pharyngeal wall are extremely rare worldwide and, to the best of our knowledge, there is no reported case of melanocytic nevus arising from pharyngeal wall. We report a case of a pigmented lesion on the posterior wall of pharynx, which was microscopically confirmed as oropharyngeal blue nevus.
