Superficial spreading melanoma


A 61-year-old man consulted for this lesion located on his trunk (lateral left side).







Dermoscopy revealed an atypical reticular pattern, with thickened and broken net, regression structures, with blue pepper-like granules.
The lesion was removed and pathology revealed a superficial spreading melanoma (SSM) with Breslow index mesured at 0,6mm.
No metastases were detected.
