| Description |
Melanoacanthoma is a rare form of Hyperpigmentation and it comes in many forms. Oral Melanoacanthoma has not been around that long, and it is basically a lesion which is characterized by both Melanocytes and Keratinocytes. They result in a pigmented macular or in plaque like lesions.
At first it was thought that the lesions were malignant, and whilst around two percent of the cases of the condition are malignant, mostly the lesions tend to be benign. So just who gets Melanoacanthoma, and just how rare is it?
