Title: One-year follow-up of a lentigo maligna: first dermoscopic signs of growth. Author: Schiffner R, Perusquia AM, Stolz W. Journal: Br J Dermatol; 2004 Nov; 151(5):1087-9. PubMed ID: 15541091. Abstract: We report a 64-year-old man with a pigmented lesion on his forehead, initially thought to be actinic lentigo. At follow-up 1 year later the lesion had increased in size and showed new areas of pigmentation. Dermoscopic observation and biopsy led to a diagnosis of lentigo maligna and the lesion was excised. The dermoscopic features indicative of early growth of lentigo maligna are identified and discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
