Laugier‐Hunziker syndrome is a benign pigmentary disorder which manifests as macular hyperpigmentation of the lips and buccal mucosa. Some patients have longitudinal pigmented bands of nails. The syndrome has no systemic associations. Two patients of this rare syndrome are reported. Disorders producing similar pigmentary changes which must be differentiated are discussed.
