Summary Mucous melanomas on the lip are very rare. None of the few available reports has provided a comparison of dermoscopic and histopathological findings. We describe a 33‐year‐old Japanese man with a mucous melanoma on the lower lip and present a comparison of our dermoscopic and histopathological findings.
