Extrafacial lentigo maligna: A progression model and enhanced diagnostic techniques using dermatoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy
Lentigo maligna (LM) is a subtype of lentiginous melanoma confined to the epidermis, which is associated with chronic sun exposure. Its clinical, dermatoscopic, and histopathological diagnosis can be challenging, particularly in the early and advanced stages, requiring appropriate clinicopathological correlation. This article reviews the clinical presentation, diagnosis through noninvasive methods (dermoscopy and confocal microscopy), and provides insights for diagnosis of extrafacial LM through the presentation of four representative clinical cases from different phases of a theoretical–practical progression model. Recognizing these lesions is crucial, as once they invade the dermis, they can behave like any other type of melanoma.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology publishes manuscripts broadly relevant to diseases of the skin and mucosae, with the aims of advancing scientific knowledge regarding dermatopathology and enhancing the communication between clinical practitioners and research scientists. Original scientific manuscripts on diagnostic and experimental cutaneous pathology are especially desirable. Timely, pertinent review articles also will be given high priority. Manuscripts based on light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy, histochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and genetics, as well as allied sciences, are all welcome, provided their principal focus is on cutaneous pathology. Publication time will be kept as short as possible, ensuring that articles will be quickly available to all interested in this speciality.
