Abstract: INTRODUCTION The risk of melanoma arising from Clark (dysplastic) nevi, simple lentigines, or junctional nevi is small, with melanoma estimated to arise in about 1 in 10,000 Clark nevi. Because of this low risk, clinicians… read more here.

Abstract: Ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) is an autosomal recessive, multisystem disorder characterized by cerebellar ataxia and oculocutaneous telangiectasias that present in early childhood. Increased incidence of malignancy is also associated with A‐T. Hematopoietic malignancies occur most commonly, with… read more here.
