| Diagnosis: | TATTOO, AMALGAM / TATTOO | Category: | deposition disorders / dental/oral disorder / hyperpigmentation | ||
| Body Site: | mouth, floor of | Age: | 59 years | ||
| Contributor: | Greg Hosler, MD, PhD | ||||
| Description: | The mucosa appears normal. In the submucosa, there is an ill-defined hyperpigmented area. | ||||
| Comments: | This 59 year old woman had a pigmented lesion biopsied from the floor of her mouth to rule out melanoma. This is a common scenario for amalgam tattoos. These lesions develop when metals from dental work leach into the soft tissues. Common metals implicated are silver, mercury, aluminum, etc. On histology, the pigment may be black, brown, or golden. The main differential diagnosis is a melanocytic lesion, like a blue nevus, but the tattoo pigment is acellular and often accentuated on elastic fibers. | ||||
