Abstract
Laugier-Hunziker syndrome is a rare acquired pigmentary disorder that is characterized by idiopathic mucocutaneous pigmentation that may be associated with longitudinal melanonychia. Although this syndrome is considered a benign disease with no systemic manifestations or malignant potential, it is important to rule out other mucocutaneous pigmentary disorders, especially Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. We report the case of a patient with this unusual syndrome
