They are generally well-tolerated and the possible side effects of synthetic antimalarials, though infrequent, are well known. Besides the familiar adverse reactions, a localized mucocutaneous bluish-grey to black discolouration can sometimes be seen with antimalarial drugs. The aim of this report was to draw attention to the localized mucocutaneous bluish-grey hyperpigmentation induced by hydroxychloroquine with a case presentation and a review of the literature.
