Intradermal Nevus on the Lower Lip / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Melanocytic nevi of the lower lip are rare benign melanocytic tumors. They can be classified in four types (junctional, compound, intradermal, blue). Among these 4 types, the intradermal type (sometimes referred to as intramucosal or subepithelial type) is the most common type. We report here on a case of intradermal nevus that developed on the lower lip of an 87-years old female patient who presented with a 0.8 cm-sized, partially crusted nodule.
