ABSTRACT
Lips, teeth, gums, oral mucous membranes, palate, tongue, and the oral lymphoid system comprise the oral cavity. Oral cavity soft tissue lesions are extremely common in children, and they can present clinically as coloured lesions, mucosal ulceration, or Nodular lesions. The appearance of the oral mucosa alters to reflect the underlying health status, which could be local or systemic. While most oral diseases can be diagnosed visually, some disorders can be befuddling, and their diagnoses can be elusive. Pigmentation is defined as the process of pigment deposition in tissues. This article provides a brief overview of oral pigmented lesions in children
