A 50-year-old man presented an irregularly pigmented lesion his back. Dermoscopy revealed an asymetric pigmentation, multiple colors, streaks (red circle), and a delicate blue white veil in favor of a superficial spreading melanoma.
The lesion was removed with a 2 mm margin and histology confirmed the diagnosis. The Breslow index was measured 0.63 mm. A re-excision was performed with a 1 cm margin. No mestastases were detected.
