Dermoscopic features of cutaneous local recurrent melanoma

J Am Acad Dermatol. 2000 Oct;43(4):722-4. doi: 10.1067/mjd.2000.107942.

Abstract

We describe for the first time the dermoscopic features of cutaneous recurrent melanoma including a globular pattern and a diffuse nonhomogeneous pigmentation. These findings greatly differ from those observed in primary cutaneous melanoma and should be considered in the dermoscopic differential diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions.
