ABSTRACT: Many interesting histopathological changes may be seen in association with nevi, such as amyloid, nodular myxoid changes, folliculitis, granular cell changes and ossification. We report unusual case of osseous metaplasia within an intradermal melanocytic nevus, osteo-nevus of Nanta. Oral and Maxillofacial pathologist should be aware of this rare entity as they might receive skin biopsy from facial and perioral regions. The possible pathogenesis hypotheses have been discussed briefly.
