    This study describes melanotic lesions on the lower lips of young adults, termed labial melanotic macules. These benign lesions, encompassing ephelides and postinflammatory melanoses, show no malignant potential.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oral Pathology

    Background:

    • Melanotic lesions of the lips are common but not well-characterized.
    • Previous descriptions lack a unified classification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on 55 cases of lip melanotic lesions.
    • To propose a unifying term and assess the nature of these lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Clinical and histopathologic evaluation of 55 lip lesions.
    • Follow-up information review.

    Main Results:

    • Lesions typically affect the lower lips of young adults, with equal gender distribution.
    • Identified lesions include ephelides, postinflammatory melanoses, and unique entities.

  • The proposed term 'labial melanotic macule' encompasses these variations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Labial melanotic macule is a benign entity.
    • The condition demonstrates no evidence of malignant potential based on follow-up and histopathology.
