melanoma

A 82-year-old woman consulted for this dark pigmented lesion on her left arm. Clinically a melanoma was suspected.
Dermoscopy revealed:
  • a multi-coloured pattern
  • a blue white veil
  • blue gray dots
  • whitish scar-like depigmentation
  • polymorphous vessels including linear irregular vessels
