      Abstract

      The nevus of Ota is a macular discoloration of the face which is most commonly found in the Japanese. The sclera is also often affected.

The present case is only the seventh reported in a non-Oriental patient with clinical oral involvement and the first to illustrate the histopathologic features of an oral lesion.
