ABSTRACT
Nevus of Ota is a benign dermal melanocytosis, that involves facial skin as a macular discoloration, appearing as blotchy blue to blue gray. It involves the upper portion of the face, especially over the periorbital area. It also involves ocular structures such as episclera, sclera, conjunctiva, cornea, retina, uveal tract and also nasopharynx, auricular mucosa, tymphanic membrane and dura. Glaucoma and malignant melanoma are the two known ocular complications in patients with Nevus of Ota. 12-18% of these patients exhibits palatal pigmentation. Here we are reporting two cases of Oculodermal melanocytosis, one of which exhibited palatal pigmentation.
