Laugier-Hunziker pigmentation (LHP) is a rare acquired hypermelanosis. This case report details a patient with LHP, emphasizing the need for thorough investigation to exclude systemic conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Laugier-Hunziker pigmentation (LHP) is an acquired disorder characterized by mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation.
  • LHP can mimic other conditions presenting with similar pigmentation, necessitating careful differential diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old female presented with increasing hyperpigmented macules on lips, fingers, toes, and nails.
  • No family history of similar conditions was reported.
  • Systemic examinations and investigations were normal.

Findings:

  • Histopathology of a skin lesion confirmed features consistent with LHP.
  • The diagnosis was established after excluding systemic involvement.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of LHP requires thorough investigation to rule out associated systemic diseases.
