ABSTRACT
Oral postinflammatory pigmentation (OPP) is a discoloration of the oral mucosa caused by an excess of melaninproduction and deposition with in the basal layer of the epithelium and connective tissue of areas affected by chronicinflammation. Therefore, it is mandatory to demonstrate the association with a previous or concomitant inflammatoryprocess in the same area of oral mucosa. Clinically OPP appears as a localized or diffuse, black to brownpigmentation. OPP may persist for many years even though the disappearing of the pigmentation after the resolution of the inflammatory state has been reported. We reviewed retrospectively the medical records and, when performed,biopsy examinations of 7 cases of OPP. Four cases were associated with oral lichen planus, two cases with lichenoid lesions and one case with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. Despite a possible high prevalence of OPP, only a fewreports concerning diagnosis, etiopathogenesis and clinical manifestation have been published so far (AU)
