Introduction: Studies focused on dermoscopic aspects of pigmented Bowen disease (pBD) in Latin American population are scarce and limited to only case reports or small series.
Objectives: To report dermoscopic findings in a large series of 147 pBD diagnosed in Ibero-Latin American population.
Methods: We conducted a multicentric, retrospective study on 147 histologically proven pBD under the auspices of the Dermoscopy Chapter of the Ibero-Latin American College of Dermatology.
Article Synopsis
- Nevus count, influenced by genetic variants, is linked to the development of melanoma, particularly de novo melanomas (DNMMs) which show unique dermoscopic features.
- The study assessed the effects of specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to nevus count and melanoma risk on the dermoscopic characteristics of 371 melanomas from 310 patients.
- Results indicated that certain genetic variants correlated with low nevus counts were associated with specific dermoscopic features, suggesting that these factors may contribute to the prognosis and characteristics of de novo melanomas.
