โœฆ Synopsis

Seventy-nine patients presented to the pigmented lesion clinic between 1983 and 1996 with labial melanotic macules. We have followed up these patients for up to 13 years and 3 months (mean 6 years, 3 months). We present evidence that this is a benign entity. The appropriate management is reassurance and discharge, with the advice to return only if the lesion grows or darkens. This did not occur in any of our patients during the time of their follow-up.
