Description: Clinical of lesion at site of previous laser removal of a "nevus"

History:

The patient has a history of an excised pigmented lesion done with laser a year ago. Some time after this she has developed a new lesion precisely at the excision site. No previous histopathology report (laser excision). I have seen very often recurrent nevus after laser excision. Laser excision is not recommended  for melanocytic lesions.

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. See this reference

Dermoscopic description: Atypical network,  multicomponent pattern with a blue-gray coloration.
