Animal-type melanoma: clinical and dermoscopic features of 3 cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Animal-type melanoma is a rare variant of malignant melanoma in humans. Although many patients develop locoregional and distant metastases, mortality is lower than in other types of melanoma. We present 3 cases of animal-type melanoma in elderly men and include a description of common clinical and dermoscopic features (homogeneous blue pattern, irregular whitish structures, and irregular large vessels).

[Dermoscopic characterization of 3 cases of fibroepithelioma of Pinkus].
Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus is considered to be a rare variant of basal cell carcinoma with well-defined histopathological features. Clinical diagnosis often requires differentiation from benign lesions such as acrochordon, intradermal melanocytic nevus, neurofibroma, seborrheic keratosis, and even malignant lesions such as amelanotic melanoma. Dermoscopy of this type of lesion is not extensivel...
متن کاملThe Natural Evolution of a Pigmented Spitz-Reed Nevus in a 24 Months Dermoscopic Follow Up
The natural evolution of Spitz-Reed nevi is poorly understood, owing to the lack of studies investigating their longterm clinical evolution and the fact that most of the lesions are surgically excised. The surgical approach is indicated because of the clinical and histopathologic similarities with melanoma that may create diagnostic confusion in some cases. Hence nowadays, due to the low incide...
متن کاملDermoscopy of Nodular Melanoma: Review of the Literature and Report of 3 Cases.
Nodular melanoma is the most aggressive subtype of melanoma, with rapid growth rate and metastatic potential. It is usually diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (Breslow thickness <2 mm) and is therefore associated with a poor prognosis. Nodular melanoma often does not fit the classic clinical ABCD criteria, but rather the EFG rule or 3 Cs criteria. Missing the diagnosis of nodular melanoma is...
متن کاملAcquired melanocytic naevus phenotypes and MC1R genotypes in Han Chinese: a cross-sectional study
Background Early detection and treatment are the most important elements in reducing the incidence of melanoma deaths. Acquired melanocytic naevi (AMN) are well-known precursors of melanoma but most of our knowledge on the clinico-dermoscopic phenotypes of AMN is based on studies in European-background populations, particularly American and Australian populations. There has been little research...
متن کامل[Dermoscopic features of eccrine poroma].
Eccrine poroma is a benign adnexal neoplasm that clinically may mimic malignant skin tumors such as squamous cell carcinoma and amelanotic melanoma. The dermoscopic features of pigmented and nonpigmented eccrine poroma have recently been described. We present 2 cases of eccrine poroma, with their dermoscopic features. The lesions were characterized by multiple red lacunes and a polymorphous vas...
