- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 41-year-old white female patient with a history of a pigmented lesion of the lower lip. Topics discussed include an injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) for aesthetic purposes; emergence of melanosis as a common cause of benign pigmentation of the mucosa that is misdiagnosed as a melanoma; and presence of exogenous materials used in aesthetic medicine to modify dermoscopic structures of pre-existing mucosal pigmented lesions.
