History:
Lesion on the back noted during a skin examination. Patient had a past history of 2 melanomas. Was this a regressing solar lentigo or a melanoma in situ?
This was a melanoma in situ with atypical melanocytes in nests and along the Dermoepidermal junction.
Dermatoscopically there was a thickened network with grey dots of regression and polygon formation.
Below is a video on solar lentigo for comparison.
