“…This argues for urgent excision of any growing skin lesion suspicious for a skin tumour even if it looks more like a squamous lesion than a melanoma. The prototypical dermoscopic progression model for LMM on the face include four sequential patterns, that are hyper-pigmented follicular openings, annulargranular pattern, rhomboidal structures and atypical pseudo-network [51,52], whilst the importance of additional features such as increased vascular network and red rhomboidal structures have been linked to the development of tumour-induced neovascularisation [53].…”

“…Il est très utile pour observer ces images de se munir des schémas illustrant la progression dermoscopique de la pigmentation au cours du mélanome de Dubreuilh du visage et que l'on peut trouver dans les publications de Stolz [1,2], ou dans l'atlas de Braun et Thomas [3] ; ou encore d'observer la progression en un an d'un mélanome de Dubreuilh telle que rapportée par Schiffner [4].…”

“…Dermoscopy of facial pigmented lesions has been widely studied [4, 9, 10]. In our series, the most frequent feature for facial LM (particularly in lesions ≥5 mm) were disappearance of follicular structures, annular granular pattern and irregular follicular pigmentation, but also multicomponent pattern.…”

Lentigo Maligna – Not Always a Face and Neck Disease of the Elderly

Introduction: Lentigo maligna (LM) is a rare form of in situ melanoma, frequently seen as a large patch in elderly patients. The aim of this study was to assess clinical and dermoscopic features of LM. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of LM patients presenting to our center between July 2007 and July 2017 was performed. Demographic data, anatomical location, laterality, diameter, Clark level, Breslow stage, “ABCD” signs and dermoscopic features were registered. Facial versus extrafacial LM were compared. Results: We found 21 LM, of which 12 had an extrafacial location and 9 a facial location. Half of the extrafacial lesions were located on an upper limb. The median age at diagnosis was 63 years (ranging from 38 to 84 years). Most LM cases were female (16/21) with phototype II (13/21). More than half of the patients (11/21) had a history of a skin neoplasm or actinic keratosis. The median diameter found was 6 mm (interquartile range = 4.5 mm), ranging from 1 to 15 mm. Five lesions were invasive (median Breslow depth of 0.2 mm), and 4 of them were extrafacial. Discussion: In this study LM was more frequently found in an extrafacial location and as a small patch with a 6-mm diameter medium. The epidemiology of LM/LM melanoma might be changing. Full body examination and dermoscopy are of the utmost importance for the diagnosis. Dermatologists should be aware and search for small lesions outside the face and neck, particularly in middle-aged female patients with photo-damaged skin.
