Can we manage the melanocytic lesions with peripheral globules according to the grade of dysplasia?

CONCLUSIONS: To avoid the underdiagnosis of both melanomas and high-grade dysplastic nevi with PGs, the irregular shape of peripheral globules and multiple colours after the third decade may be useful in making an excision decision. The risk increases every 1-year increase in age. Excision is suggested for all melanocytic lesions with PGs for patients 60 years or older because of the high risk of melanoma and melanocytic nevus with high-grade dysplasia.PMID:38572867 | DOI:10.1111/ajd.14261
