Thick SM often exhibit characteristics typical of head and neck melanomas. Most of our cases demonstrated features resembling lentigo maligna melanoma (40%) or were positive for the blue-black rule (40%).

Abstract
Thick SM often exhibit characteristics typical of head and neck melanomas. Most of our cases demonstrated features resembling lentigo maligna melanoma (40%) or were positive for the blue-black rule (40%). A smaller number of cases (20%) could be indistinguishable from non-melanocytic lesions such as basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, angiomas, or seborrheic keratoses, making clinical- dermoscopic diagnosis challenging.File in questo prodotto:
