  • Title: Blue-whitish veil-like structure as the primary dermoscopic feature of combined nevus.
    Author: Piccolo D, Altamura D, Lozzi GP, Peris K.
    Journal: Dermatol Surg; 2006 Sep; 32(9):1176-8. PubMed ID: 16970701.
    Abstract:
    The combined nevus is a clinical simulator of melanoma, and clinical examination alone can be inadequate to diagnose this melanocytic pigmented skin lesion. Dermoscopy is a useful tool to differentiate the features related to each type of nevus. We report two cases of combined nevi dermoscopically characterized by a diffuse blue-whitish pigmentation similar to the blue-whitish veil, suggesting the diagnosis of melanoma.
