“…A blue nevus can develop anywhere on the body; however, about half of the common blue nevi have been lesions on the dorsal surface of the hands and feet, as well as on the scalp, and the cellular blue nevi have been located over the buttocks. Rarely have these lesions been identified in the oral cavity, yet when they do present in the oral cavity, they have been reported in the hard palate, buccal mucosa, upper lip, lower lip and soft palate, in the order of most common frequency 1 . A single lesion is usually identified, but on rare occasions there may be multiple papules or nodules with satellite lesions that are mistaken for a malignant melanoma.…”

Nevus of Ota is a dermal melanocytic nevus which is characterized by benign hamartomatous hyperpigmentation. Clinically it presents as a congenital or acquired blue or gray patch on the face and is distributed on the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular branches of the trigeminal nerve. It is most commonly found in Japanese populations and is rare in the Indian subcontinent. It affects only 0.014 -0.034% of the Asian population and is less common in the male population, with a male to female ratio of 1.4:8. The involvement of pigmentation over the pinna of the ear and the oral mucosa is extremely rare with very few cases reported in scientific literature. The case reported here is a case of nevus of Ota, with a rare intraoral presentation on the hard palate, crossing the midline.
