Abstract:
The authors describe a case of amalgam tatooing which was referred to their attention. Based on a careful revision of the literature on this pathology they describe the clinical aspects, localisation and etiopathogenesis, focusing in particular on the importance of histological analysis, the only means of distinguishing amalgam tatooing from a highly aggressive lesion such as melanoma.
