Intraoral Spitz naevus: a case report.

Intraoral occurrences of Spitz naevus are very rare, there being only one previously documented case in the literature. Here is reported a case of a young male who presented with a pigmented lesion of the upper labial mucosa which had the clinical appearance of a simple naevus. Excision biopsy confirmed this to be a Spitz naevus. This lesion shares histopathological similarities with malignant melanoma. Spitz naevus is a benign lesion, but malignant transformation has been reported and close monitoring is recommended.
