Laugier Hunziker syndrome is a rare acquired disorder characterized by longitudinal melanonychia which can

involve few or all the nails and pigmented lesions over the oral cavity. This is considered to be a benign condition

with no malignant potential. Hence proper examination is required to differentiate it from other conditions in which invasive treatment is

warranted. Here, we report a 39-year-old female who presented with pigmented macules and patches over the lower lip, angles of mouth

and gingiva of the upper incisors and canine with longitudinal melanonychia.
