| Popis: | Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and histologic features of oral melanocytic nevi (OMN) diagnosed in a Brazilian population. Study design: Between 2000 and 2018, all cases of OMN diagnosed in an oral pathology service in Brazil, were selected for the study. Clinical and demographic data were recorded from the clinical charts. All cases were microscopically reviewed on slides stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The data were tabulated and the variables distribution was done by descriptive analysis. Results: Twenty cases of OMN were identified. Sixteen cases (80%) occurred in females and 4 (20%) in males, with mean age of 35.4 years (range, 5-63 years). The time of complaint ranged from 2 months to 40 years. The mean size of the lesions was 0.5 cm (range, 0.2-1.0 cm), and most lesions (94.1%) appeared as a pigmented nodule or macule. The most common site was the hard/soft palate (36.8%), followed by buccal mucosa (31.6%). OMN and melanocytic macule were the most common (85%) clinical diagnoses. Microscopically, the most common subtype was the intramucosal nevus (60%). Conclusion: Intramucosal nevi are the most common type of OMN. A biopsy of any oral pigmented lesions should be obtained and sent for histopathological analysis. |
