Lentigo of the mucous membrane: circumscribed, acquired hyperpigmentation of the lower lip.

Lentigo of the mucosa. Acquiredactinically induced lentigo of the lower lip.

Idiopathic lentigo of the mucosa: solitary symptomless hyperpigmentation that has remained unchanged for years; therapy is not necessary.

Lentigo of the mucous membrane: sharply defined, brownish hyperpigmentation of the red of the lips and the lip mucosa.

Congenital (familial) lentiginosis of red lips, lip and oral mucosa, especially Peutz-Jeghers syndrome


Lentigo of the mucosa: sharply defined, brownish hyperpigmentation in the sense of gingivamelanosis along the lower row of teeth in a 36-year-old female patient.


Lentigo of the mucosa. Ethnic lentiginosis of the mucosa. No need for therapy.

Lentigo of the mucous membrane: harmless, persistent, irregular and blurred, symptom-free, brown-black lentigo of the vulva, persisting unchanged for several years (annual clinical controls are recommended).

Lentigo of the mucosa: harmless lentigo ofthe vulva which has persisted unchanged for several years, irregular and blurredly limited, symptomless, brown-black lentigo of the vulva (on the left side of the labia majora overlapping the thigh bend, sign of vitiligo).


Lentigo of the mucosa: harmless lentigo of the labia minora, persisting unchanged for several years, irregular and blurred, symptom-free, brown-black lentigo of the labia minora (detailed picture) .

Lentiginosis of the mucosa. since persistent, multiple melanotic flecks of the vulva. 34-year-old female patient. Fig. from Eiko E. Petersen, Colour Atlas of Vulva Diseases. with permission of Kaymogyn GmbH Freiburg.

Lentigo of the mucosa: for 10 years persistent, irregular, blurred, band-shaped, almost circumferential, brown-black spots on the inner side of the labia in a 59-year-old female patient

Lentigo of the mucosa: for 10 years persistent, irregular, blurred, brown-black spots in the area of the inner side of the labia in a 59-year-old female patient

Lentigo of the mucous membrane. 10 years of persistent, irregular, blurred, brown-black macular in the area of the inner side of the labia in a 59-year-old female patient.

Lentigo of the mucosa. Benign hyperpigmentation that requires semi-annual control.

Lentigo of the mucous membrane; for more than 1 year existing, about 2 cm in diameter, irregular but sharply defined, band-shaped, dark brown macula in the region of the inner preputial leaf of a 72-year-old man.



lentigo of the mucosa. incident light microscopy: brown to greyish-brown pigment streaks and pigment clusters as well as bluish-grey melanophagus agglomerates in the lower lip red. melanoma features are not present. noticeable is the blurred border with the spatter-like pigmentation. this pigmentation of a previously unpigmented mucosa, typical for the mucosa, results in the jagged clinical border.




Melanosis of the mucosa. reflected light microscopy with reticulated, very irregular pigmentation, which can no longer be classified as a "physiological" pattern, so that an initial "lentigo maligna melanoma" is suspected.
