Nine males and eleven females patients with LM were identified .the anatomical location of LM involved the right site
of the neck and the lip more frequently 30% followed by the tongue and check with equal 20% . According to the consistency
soft swelling presented in 11 patients 55% seven patients presented with firm 35%. According to the surface 80% smooth and
4% non smooth .blue and normal skin texture were the most common color 30%,pink 20% red 10% yellowish 10% . Half of
