Correlation of Handheld Reflectance Confocal Microscopy With Radial Video Mosaicing for Margin Mapping of Lentigo Maligna and Lentigo Maligna Melanoma
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "JAMA Dermatology"
DOI: 10.1001/jamadermatol.2017.3114
Abstract: Importance The management of lentigo maligna (LM) and LM melanoma (LMM) is challenging because of extensive subclinical spread and its occurrence on cosmetically sensitive areas. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) improves diagnostic accuracy for LM and… read more here.

Lentigo maligna melanoma with a history of cosmetic treatment: Prevalence, surgical outcomes and considerations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Lasers in Surgery and Medicine"
DOI: 10.1002/lsm.22691
Abstract: Lentigo maligna (LM) is melanoma in situ on sun‐damaged skin and presents diagnostic challenges due to overlapping features with benign pigmented lesions. Cosmetic treatments may be inadvertently performed on LM. The aim of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2019.01.051
Abstract: BACKGROUND Multiple studies have shown a 5-mm surgical margin to be inadequate for excision of melanoma in situ. Some have suggested that a wider margin is needed only for the lentigo maligna subtype. OBJECTIVE To… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2019.11.058
Abstract: BACKGROUND Lentigo maligna/lentigo maligna melanoma (LM/LMM) can present with subclinical extension that may be difficult to define preoperatively and lead to incomplete excision and potential recurrence. Preliminarily studies have used reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jdcr.2019.09.014
Abstract: Lentigo maligna is a clinical subtype of melanoma that occurs on sun-damaged skin, often grows slowly, and can become quite extensive if left untreated. If biopsy specimens of these tumors do not reveal sufficient melanocytic… read more here.
