- * Researchers collected a dataset of 471 lesions from 10 European centers and evaluated them through a blinded analysis involving 156 dermatologists of varying experience, using a specialized online platform.
- * The findings revealed that certain areas, like the heel and fingers, had higher rates of early-stage melanomas compared to atypical nevi, and demonstrated that diagnosing lesions in the plantar arch was particularly challenging for dermatologists.
The differential diagnosis of atypical melanocytic palmoplantar skin lesions (aMPLs) represents a diagnostic challenge, including atypical nevi (AN) and early melanomas (MMs) that display overlapping clinical and dermoscopic features. We aimed to set up a multicentric dataset of aMPL dermoscopic cases paired with multiple anamnestic risk factors and demographic and morphologic data. Each aMPL case was paired with a dermoscopic and clinical picture and a series of lesion-related data (maximum diameter value; location on the palm/sole in 17 areas; histologic diagnosis; and patient-related data (age, sex, family history of melanoma/sunburns, phototype, pheomelanin, eye/hair color, multiple/dysplastic body nevi, and traumatism on palms/soles).
