Description
Akash Nhemaphuki is first author on a 2026 case report of a compound nevus, a benign pigmented mole, inside the mouth. Such moles are uncommon in the oral cavity, and the compound type is a minority of them, usually appearing on the hard palate or cheek lining. This patient presented for cosmetic improvement of gum discoloration.
A fifty-five year old healthy woman had a bluish-black-brown patch on the gum by her upper front teeth, painless and not scrapable. She had no similar lesions and no family history of such moles. The tissue was removed under local anesthesia, and microscopy confirmed a compound nevus. At five-month follow-up, slight gum recession was noted near one tooth. Biopsy proof matters for safety, the authors stress.
