Abstract EN
Nevus of Ota, a dermal melanocytic nevus, is rare in the Indian subcontinent.
It presents as a brown, blue, or gray patch on the face and is within the distribution of the ophthalmic and maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve.
The oral cavity is infrequently involved in nevus of Ota.
Only 11 cases have been documented in the English literature.
We report a rare case of intraoral nevus of Ota in a 22-year-old male patient.
This paper focuses on the differential diagnosis of oral manifestations of nevus of Ota to assist in proper followup to avert malignant transformation.
