The oral blue nevus in children: a case report

Quintessence Int. 1993 Aug;24(8):567-9.

Abstract

The intraoral blue nevus is a benign, relatively rare lesion that usually occurs in adults and most often in women. The reported case is interesting because the patient was only 11 years old. The lesion, located in the hard palate, was surgically removed. The specimen was sent for histologic examination, resulting in the final diagnosis of common blue nevus.
