Blue white veil


A 72-year-old man consulted for this black tumour on his back.



Dermoscopy revealed a sharply multi-coloured lesion without visible reticular pigment network covered by a central crust.


Most strikingly features were:
  • a blue white veil
  • irregular and thick vessels (see white square)
in favour of a melanoma.
