dermatoscopy of an invasive melanoma on the upper lip shows possible association with Laugier Hunziker Syndrome
Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 2008Co-Authors: Olga Simionescu, Doina Dumitrescu, Mariana Costache, Andreas BlumAbstract:We report mucosal melanoma of the upper lip in a patient affected by the Laugier–Hunziker disease. Using dermatoscopy, two distinct parts were identified in the same mucosal area: nodular (malignant) and macular (benign). A complete surgical excision was performed and the patient has been free of disease for 16 months.

Q-switched Alexandrite laser in the treatment of pigmented macules in Laugier-Hunziker Syndrome.
Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2001Co-Authors: Evangelia Papadavid, Npj WalkerAbstract:: We report clearance of pigmented macules on the lips of two subjects with Laugier-Hunziker Syndrome using the Q-switched Alexandrite laser. Recurrence of two macules was noticed in one case 6 months after treatment and the lesions were successfully retreated. This report evaluates the efficacy and side-effect profile of the Q-switched Alexandrite laser in the treatment of lentigines in this Syndrome.

treatment of Laugier Hunziker Syndrome with the q switched alexandrite laser in 22 chinese patients
Archives of Dermatological Research, 2010Co-Authors: Hongwei WangAbstract:Laugier-Hunziker Syndrome (LHS), a rare, acquired pigmentary disorder of the lips, oral mucosa, and fingers, is known to be an entirely benign disease with no systemic manifestations. In the past, the pigmentation has been treated efficiently in a few patients with the Q-switched neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser and the Q-switched alexandrite laser (QSAL). In order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of QSAL on Chinese patients of LHS, we treated 22 patients with QSAL in the past 5 years. Treatments were delivered on a bimonthly or trimonthly basis until the abnormal pigmentation totally disappeared. Patients were evaluated at each visit for evidence of dyspigmentation, scarring, or other untoward effects from the laser treatment. Our 22 subjects consisted of 18 females and 4 males with a mean age of 42.4 years. After only one session of laser treatment, the clearing on the lips was as follow: 18 (81.8%) excellent, 2 (9.1%) good, 1 (4.5%) fair and 1 (4.5%) poor. Eighteen patients (81.8%) with LHS, who had achieved excellent clearing after only one session of laser treatment, did not receive further treatment. Among the left four patients, three patients (13.6%) achieved complete results after three laser treatments. Only one patient required six sessions to achieve complete clearance. No scarring was noted after any of the treatments. The appearance of pigmentation on mucous membranes in a middle-aged patient without a significant family history for skin disorders should prompt consideration for the possible diagnosis of LHS. Our study has also demonstrated QSAL to be highly effective and safe in the treatment of LHS.
