Melanoma-in-situ and lentigo malignas are treated with narrower surgical margins, usually 0.2 to 0.5 cm.
12.
As lentigo malignas often present on severely sun damaged skin, it is frequently found amongst numerous pigmented lesions-thin seborrheic keratoses, lentigo senilis, lentigines.

14.
As the lentigo maligna is often very large, it often merges with, or encompasses other skin tumors-such as lentigines, melanocytic nevi, and seborrheic keratosis.
15.
The four major categories of Lentigo Maligna Melanoma, Superficial Spreading Melanoma, Nodular Melanoma, and Acral Lentiginous Melanoma loosely correspond to more recent molecular classification of the disease.
16.
Some melanocytic nevi, and melanoma-in-situ ( lentigo maligna ) have resolved with an experimental treatment, imiquimod ( Aldara ) topical cream, an immune enhancing agent.
17.
They are an indication of excessive sun exposure so although ink spot lentigo is not premalignant, people with several of them maybe at increased risk of skin cancer due to UV damage.
18.
Unfortunately for the average person, many seborrheic keratoses, some lentigo senilis, and even warts may have ABCD characteristics, and cannot be distinguished from a melanoma without a trained eye or dermatoscopy.
19.
Nasal defects mostly result from excision of ( malignant ) skin tumours as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, keratoacanthoma, lentigo maligna, lymphoma, and sweat gland carcinoma.
20.
A second type, lentigo maligna, also remains close to the surface of the skin for a long while and usually appears as a flat or slightly elevated mottled tan, brown or dark brown discoloration.
