ABSTRACT

Introduction: benign hereditary mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation with melanonychia in 2/3 of the patients. Objective: dissemination of an infrequent clinical case in oral cavity. Case presentation: patient F/18 years old attends in Diagnostic Clinic at the Faculty Dentistry, UAC 2019; with a previous diagnosis of "oral moniliasis" by Internal Medicine at five years of evolution without improvement despite multiple treatment. During the extraoral examination, macules are detected in axillary/abdomen area and intraorally, there are multiple dark brown to black macules on both cheeks, ventral, and dorsal areas of the tongue with a "whitish plaque" that superficially covers the back of the tongue. Conclusion: there are infrequent entities characterized by "white plaques" of a genetic nature in oral cavity. The knowing them avoids diagnostic error and inappropriate treatment.
