case_images: It involved the labial, marginal as well as attached gingiva (Figure 1).

case_images: At one-week post scaling, an excisional biopsy was done, and a collagen sponge dressing (FIX PLUG from Synerheal Pharmaceuticals, Chennai) was used to cover the excision site (Figure 3A and B). The use of a collagen dressing helped in the rapid healing of excision site and did not create a mucogingival defect at the excision site as seen in the one month post operative photograph (Figure 3C).
case_images: H&E-stained section (100x) which shows the proliferation of nevus cells, with junctional separation and differentiation of lesional cells. Yellow arrow points to type A cells and blue arrow points to type B cells.
