Pigmented lesion on upper lip.

A 32 year-old woman consulted for this pigmented lesion present for 6 months.

Dermoscopy revealed:
  • an atypical pseudonetwork
  • rhomboidal structures
  • irregular globules
A melanoma was suspected and this lesion was excised. Pathology revealed a superficial spreading melanoma in situ (Clark level I).
