Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Prominent pigmented fungiform paillae of the tongue are characterized clinically by prominence and pigmentation confined to these papillae and histopathologically by melanophages in the lamina opriae. A 45-year-old Asian woman had dark erythematous papules exclusively involved with fungiform papillae on the anterior lateral dorsal aspect of the tongue and hyperpigmentation on the lip. Histologic examination revealed many melanophages in the subepidermal area within the fungiform papillae. Her skin lesions improved moderately following two months of treatment for anemia. |
