  • Title: An amalgam tattoo of the soft palate: a case report with energy dispersive X-ray analysis.
    Author: Mayall FG, Hickman J, Knight LC, Singharo S.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1992 Sep; 106(9):834-5. PubMed ID: 1431528.
    Abstract:
    A pigmented lesion of the soft palate was excised to exclude melanoma. The histology suggested an amalgam tattoo which was confirmed on energy dispersive X-ray analysis by the detection of silver and copper. This represents a very rare mimic of melanoma of the soft palate.
