..In contrast to the dermoscopic features usually seen in melanoma occurring on the face, the same morphologic type of pigment network usually seen in melanoma of the trunk was observed in our case of scalp melanoma...

..In this review, the authors present an up-to-date overview of the epidemiologic, clinical, histopathologic, and therapeutic aspects of melanoma that can be used as a practical guide for the management of this tumor...

..We report a "typical" case of GPD and review the literature to discuss the difficulties in its diagnosis and treatment...

..A positive scratch test may be considered as an additional diagnostic clue...

..For the distinction between MIS and atypical naevi, the extension of an atypical network, the presence of more than one type of network, the distribution of reticular grey-blue areas and the lesion diameter must be considered...

....

..This is a cross-sectional study assessing the prevalence, dermoscopic pattern and anatomical distribution of naevus subtypes in a stratified cohort aged between 60 and 89 years...

..Asymmetry should be assessed using both dermoscopic and histopathologic analysis, and reliability in histopathologic diagnosis may be enhanced by the simultaneous evaluation of the corresponding dermoscopic images...

..We report a 42-year-old woman who presented with a recurrent and metastatic melanoma after laser treatment of a tumor which was apparently clinically innocent and highlight the clinical features of such benign-looking melanomas...

..To assess whether multiple observers can identify the same pigmented lesion(s) as being different from a patient's other moles ("ugly duckling" [UD] sign) and to explore whether the UD sign is sensitive for melanoma detection...

..To determine the predictive dermoscopic features of amelanotic and hypomelanotic melanoma...

..The objective was to describe the clinical and dermoscopic characteristics of difficult-to-diagnose melanomas (DDM)...

..Dermoscopy has been shown to increase the diagnostic accuracy of clinically equivocal lesions, but little is known about its ability to detect melanoma in the context of lesions that appear clinically benign...

..The starburst pattern is the dermoscopic hallmark of pigmented Spitz nevus, although it has been rarely observed in melanoma as well...

..The aim of this randomized study was to determine whether the adjunct of dermoscopy to the standard clinical examination improves the accuracy of PCPs to triage lesions suggestive of skin cancer...
