What is Imatinib-Induced Oral Mucosal Pigmentation about?
The document reports three cases of patients who developed oral mucosal pigmentation after taking the drug imatinib for chronic myeloid leukemia or other conditions. Histopathological examination found brown spherical granules in the connective tissue that stained positively for melanin and iron. The pigmentation is caused by the deposition of drug metabolites containing melanin and iron, similar to other medications.
