Intraoral Nevus of Ota : A Case Report and Review
View through CrossRef
The Nevus of Ota is a melanocyte disorder that primarily affects skin and eye regions innervated by the first two caricatures of the trigeminal nerve, the ophthalmic and maxillary divisions. In most instances, pigmentation involves the skin, eyes, and rarely the intraoral mucosa. The oral cavity is not always involved in cases of opthalmic or dermal melanosis. To the best of our knowledge, fifty five cases of Ota nevus involving the oral cavity have been documented. We have summarized all the cases of nevus of Ota involving the oral cavity until today. We are presenting a case of palatal nevus of Ota in a 50-year-old female patient.
