Characteristic Distribution of Melanin Columns in the Cornified Layer of Acquired Acral Nevus: An Important Clue for Histopathologic Differentiation From Early Acral Melanoma

6 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

Clinical and histopathologic differentiation between early acral melanoma and acral nevus is often difficult. Dermoscopy is helpful in this differentiation. On dermoscopy, early acral melanoma shows the parallel ridge pattern showing band-like pigmentation on the ridges of the surface skin markings, whereas a representative dermoscopic pattern in acquired acral nevus is the parallel furrow pattern showing...
