A new melanoma ?



A 30-year-old woman consulted for this black pigmented lesion on her 4th right toe. She mentioned to have tried to remove it with a blade and a needle.


Dermoscopy revealed a black homogeneous pattern.
A melanoma was suspected and lesion was surgically removed for pathology.

Pathology revealed a wart.

This is a quite unusual presentation for a wart.
