Abstract

Oral melanoacanthoma (OMA), a term first coined by Mishima and Pinkus in 1960, is an uncommon, benign pigmented lesion of the oral mucosa. The rapid growth of OMA may mimic malignant melanoma. The exact etiology of OMA is not clear, but constant trauma has been suggested as a causative factor.
