Description: Light brown pigmentation with some dots and globules

History:

The patient has a history of an excised pigmented lesion done with laser a 2 years ago. Some time after this she has developed a new lesion precisely at the excision site. No previous histopathology report (laser excision).

Laser excision is not recommended  for melanocytic lesions.

Dermoscopic description: Light brown pigmentation with some dots and globules. 

As Ian McColl said:Always check the original histopathology of a previous excision.  In benign recurrences the pigment usually does not extend beyond the scar margins.
