[Laugier-Hunziker-Baran syndrome]

Laugier-Hunziger-Baran syndrome is characterized by lenticular melanin pigmentation of the lips and oral mucosa that may be associated with longitudinal melanonychia. Neither a systemic nor a local cause is demonstrable. There is no risk of development of oral or subungual malignant melanoma. Fifteen cases of this syndrome, which has not yet been reported in the German literature, are described.
