Confocal Microscopy of Recurrent Naevi and Recurrent Melanomas: a Retrospective MORPHOLOGIC Study

Abstract

Background:  re-pigmentation within a scar after different procedures (shaving, partial excision, cryotherapy, laser) is a challenging diagnostic situation.


Objectives:  to determine distinct dermoscopic and confocal microscopic features in a series of histopathologically-proved melanocytic proliferations within a scar.


Methods:  clinical, dermoscopic and confocal microscopic images have been acquired before surgical excision in seven cases of re-pigmentation within a scar. The evaluation of the dermoscopic and confocal features was performed in blind to the final histopathologic diagnosis that was obtained in all cases.


Results:  Dermoscopically, the re-pigmentation in recurrent nevi (3 cases) were confined within ...
