Popis:	A rare case of lentigo maligna in the oral cavity was investigated by light and electron microscopy. Cutaneous lentigo malignas often develop to malignant melanomas. However, the electron microscopic examination revealed that even though there were a large number of melanosomes, most of them were late stage and had membrane structure, and positive staining with HMB-45 was not recognized. From our findings, it is difficult to conclude that oral lentigo malignas develop malignant melanomas, and thus further studies are needed.
