Abstract

Laugier-Hunziker syndrome is an idiopathic, macular hyperpigmentation of the oral mucous membranes and the lips, with frequent pigmentation of the nails in a longitudinal pattern. Laugier-Hunziker syndrome is a rare disease with approximately 100 cases reported in the literature. The clinical features consist of dark brown to bluish-black macules mainly located on the buccal mucosa and lips. Involvement of the tongue is exceedingly rare. Herein we report a 25-year-old woman diagnosed as Laugier-Hunziker syndrome, with confluent, hyperpigmented lesions of the tongue, that responded to cryosurgery.

Özet

Laugier-Hunziker sendromu, idiyopatik, sıklıkla tırnaklarda longitudinal pigmentasyonun gözlendiği, oral müköz membran ve dudaklarda hiperpigmente maküler lezyonlarla klinik seyir gösteren bir hastalıktır. Laugier-Hunziker sendromu, literatürde yaklaşık 100 olgunun yer aldığı ender bir hastalıktır. Klinik bulgular çoğunlukla yanak mukozası ve dudaklarda, koyu kahverengiden mavimsisiyaha kadar değişen renklerde maküler lezyonlardan oluşmaktadır. Dil tutulumuna ender olarak rastlanmaktadır. Bu makalede, dil mukozasında birleşik, hiperpigmente maküllerin saptandığı, Laugier-Hunziker sendromu tanısı alan ve kriyoterapiye yanıt aldığımız 25 yaşındaki kadın olgu sunulmuştur.
