treatment of an Amalgam Tattoo with a q switched alexandrite 755 nm laser
Dermatologic Surgery, 2002Co-Authors: Geeta Shah, Tina S AlsterAbstract:background. Amalgam Tattoos result from deposition of metallic particles (eg, silver, mercury, copper, zinc, and tin) into the oral mucosa. Their clinical and histologic appearance is similar to that of decorative tatoos. objective. To describe the successful use of a Q-switched alexandrite laser for removal of an Amalgam Tattoo. materials and methods. An Amalgam Tattoo on the buccal mucosa and gingiva was treated with a QS 755nm alexandrite laser. Three treatments were delivered at 8-week time intervals (average fluence = 6.8 J/cm2). results. Significant lightening of the Tattoo was achieved after each of the three treatments without adverse sequelae. conclusion. Q-switched alexandrite laser irradiation can safely and effectively eradicate Amalgam Tattoos.

In Vivo Intraoral Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Of An Amalgam Tattoo
Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2017Co-Authors: Oriol Yélamos, Miguel Cordova, Gary Peterson, Melissa Pulitzer, Bhuvanesh Singh, Milind Rajadhyaksha, Jennifer L. DefazioAbstract:The majority of oral pigmentations are benign lesions such as nevi, melanotic macules, melanoacanthomas or Amalgam Tattoos. Conversely, mucosal melanomas are rare but often lethal; therefore, excluding oral melanomas in this setting is crucial. Reflectance confocal microscopy is a non-invasive in vivo imaging system with cellular resolution that has been used to distinguish benign from malignant pigmented lesions in the skin and more recently in the mucosae. However, lesions located posteriorly in the oral cavity are difficult to visually assess and biopsy due to their location. Herein we present a patient with multiple previous melanomas presenting with an oral Amalgam Tattoo in the buccal mucosa which was imaged using an intraoral telescopic probe attached to a commercially-available handheld RCM. In this case report we describe this novel probe, the first RCM description of an Amalgam Tattoo and we discuss its differences with the findings described in oral melanomas.
