Dermoscopic Patterns of Acral Melanocytic Nevi and Melanomas in a White Population in Central Italy

Abstract: To investigate the dermoscopic features of acral melanocytic lesions in a white population in central Italy.Design: Retrospective review.Setting: University dermatology department.Patients: Six hundred fifty-one Italian subjects, ranging in age from 6 months to 78 years. Main Outcome Measures:We retrospectively investigated all digital dermoscopic images of acral melanocytic lesions included in our database from January 1996 to May 2005. Results:We retrieved digital images of 723 benign acral melanocytic lesio… Show more

“…5 Our group recently demonstrated that such dermoscopic classifications of acral melanocytic nevi also apply to a white population in central Italy. 6 We also described a transition pattern, observed in benign acral melanocytic nevi on the lateral aspect of the fingers, that combines specific dermoscopic features of volar and nonglabrous skin. 6 Even for experienced dermatologists, acral melanocytic nevi may be difficult to differentiate from early acral melanoma by clinical evaluation alone.…”

“…Altamura ve ark. yaptıkları iki ayrı çalışmada %3,5 ve %1,8 oranında geçiş paternini tespit etmişlerdir 6,16 . Özellikle akral bölgelerin yan kısımlarında görülen bu paternde lezyonun bir tarafında paralel oluk paterni ya da kafes benzeri patern saptanırken, diğer alanlarda tipik pigment ağı saptanır.…”
