    Author: Lisboa Castro J, Cazal C, Gomes Henriques AC, Carneiro Leão J, de Vasconcelos Carvalho M, de Carvalho Dourado HT, Carvalho AA.
    Journal: Int J Surg Pathol; 2009 Apr; 17(2):153-7. PubMed ID: 18397902.
    Abstract:
    Melanin impregnation in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an uncommon histological finding. Rare nonmelanocytic entities were previously described as having melanocyte colonization. A 57-year-old Brazilian woman was referred with a pigmented lesion in the lower lip and alveolar ridge with a prior clinical diagnosis of melanoma. The incisional biopsy of the tumor revealed an SCC with strong colonization of melanocytes in the stroma. The authors report a case of an unusual SCC variant and a brief review of the literature.
