Clinical, dermoscopic and confocal microscopy features of multiple primary melanomas according to pathogenic germline variant status: a retrospective, hospital-based study

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Familial melanoma comprises approximately 10% of cutaneous melanomas. Individuals with pathogenic germline variants have a higher risk of developing multiple primary melanomas (MPMs) than individuals who lack these variants. However, differences in clinical, dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features between variant carriers and noncarriers are not well established. OBJECTIVES: To...
