“…On the contrary, the identification of an initial MM can prove difficult because the lesion may not have sufficiently developed atypical clinical and dermoscopic features enabling its diagnosis; it therefore looks very similar to some dermoscopically atypical naevi [18,19]. …”

Background: Melanomas in situ (MIS) are difficult to diagnose, lacking well-established dermoscopic descriptors. Objective: The aim of this study was toimprove the identification of early melanomas describing the variegated dermoscopic features of MIS and their correlation with demographic and clinical aspects. Methods: Dermoscopic images of 114 histologically proven MIS were evaluated by 3 expert dermoscopists and classified into their main dermoscopic patterns. Dermoscopic features were also considered for their correlation with clinical parameters. Results: Eight different dermoscopic subtypes of MIS were identified: reticular grey-blue (27.2%), reticular (21.1%), multicomponent (20.2%), island (10.5%), spitzoid (7%), inverse network (6.1%), ‘net-blue globules’ (5.3%) and globular (2.6%). Clinical characteristics of lesions and patients varied according to the different dermoscopic groups. Conclusion: We hypothesize that the different dermoscopic subgroups of MIS correspond to lesions with a different origin and, possibly, various patterns of growth and a different biological behaviour.

“…A pigment network, aggregated globules, branched streaks and, in acral pigmented skin lesions, a parallel pattern are suggestive of a melanocytic lesion, whereas the absence of these features and the presence of milia‐like cysts, comedo‐like openings, arborizing vessels, leaf‐like areas, and red‐to‐black lacunae are indicative of a non‐melanocytic lesion . Further, the recognition of particular parameters, such as linear extensions, thickened or hyperpigmented lines, areas of abrupt cut‐off, and areas with large holes in the pigment network of the lesion is useful to the diagnosis of dysplastic nevi and thin melanomas …”

“…3 Further, the recognition of particular parameters, such as linear extensions, thickened or hyperpigmented lines, areas of abrupt cut-off, and areas with large holes in the pigment network of the lesion is useful to the diagnosis of dysplastic nevi and thin melanomas. 4 To date, peculiar dermoscopic patterns have been described for most non-melanocytic skin lesions, thereby facilitating their diagnosis before histologic examination. However, this has not yet been performed for VEN.…”

“…Thin pigment network was characterized as delicate, thin and less pigmented lines, whilst thick pigment network was characterized as heavy, highly dense lines. Mixed pigment network was a combination of both networks . Table describes in detail the classification of pigment network by dermoscopy (Table ).…”
