Abstract EN
The present report describes a case of Laugier-Hunziker syndrome (LHS), a rare benign condition.
A patient with LHS develops acquired melanotic pigmentation of the lips and buccal mucosa, often with pigmentation of the nails occurring.
No systemic symptoms are associated with this syndrome.
Normally, no treatment is required for this condition, unless for aesthetic reason, mainly due to pigmentation on the lip mucosa.
We present a case of LHS, 37-year-old female, whose pigmentations on her lip and in the oral cavity were treated with an Er:YAG laser.
At the postoperative 12th month followup, the lesions recurred.
The effects of any surgical attempt to treat pigmentations associated with LHS were discussed.
