Laugier-hunziker syndrome
Keywords:
hyperpigmentation, syndrome, dermocospy, lentigo.Abstract
ABSTRACT Laugier-Hunziker syndrome is a rare benign acquired disorder of unknown pathogenesis, firstly described in 1970, characterized by macular mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation frequently associated with longitudinal melanonychia. Diagnosis is essentially clinical, therefore other causes of mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation in which dermatoscopy can correlate with histological findings of the syndrome must be excluded. We report a case of Laugier-Hunziker syndrome based on clinical and dermatoscopic findings.Downloads
