In ten HIV-infected patients oral hyperpigmentations (HP) were observed, which seemed to be unrelated to any of the known endogenous or exogenous etiological factors. Light microscopy revealed accumulation of Fe-negative pigment in keratinocytes of the stratum basale as well as extra- and intracellularly within the subepithelial connective tissue. The ultrastructure of HP was characterised by the occurrence of melanosomes and premelanosomes within keratinocytes, melanocytes, macrophages and occasionally in fibroblasts, while especially in keratinocytes of the superficial cell layers immature melanosomes were found. Immunohistochemical examination pointed to an increase of HLA-DR positive cells and an altered distribution pattern of immunocompetent cells within the hyperpigmented mucosa. The finding of oral HP in HIV-infected patients may occur due to an increased activity of melanocytes, an increased production of melanosomes and their increased transfer to keratinocytes.

D008297	Male		Males
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy

D009061	Mouth Mucosa	Lining of the ORAL CAVITY, including mucosa on the GUMS; the PALATE; the LIP; the CHEEK; floor of the mouth; and other structures. The mucosa is generally a nonkeratinized stratified squamous EPITHELIUM covering muscle, bone, or glands but can show varying degree of keratinization at specific locations.
