Article Synopsis
- * The article highlights noninvasive diagnostic methods, such as dermoscopy and confocal microscopy, and illustrates these through four clinical case studies for better understanding.
- * Early recognition of LM is vital because, once it invades deeper skin layers, it can act like other aggressive melanomas.
Accurately diagnosing specific variants of alopecia remains challenging for pathologists, potentially delaying appropriate therapeutic decisions by dermatologists. Issues such as limited knowledge on optimal biopsy types and processing methods add complexity. Understanding the normal histology of hair follicles and their changes throughout the follicular cycle further complicates microscopic evaluation.

Objectives: To identify the evolutionary dermoscopic signs, characteristic of this type of non-facial melanoma on sun-damaged skin.
Materials & Methods: This retrospective descriptive observational study included 90 dermoscopic follow-up images of 22 non-facial melanomas on sun-damaged skin from 17 high-risk melanoma patients, followed with digital dermoscopy and diagnosed between January 2016 and October 2020.
