This presentation is structured to highlight insights provided by dermoscopy regarding neogenesis and melanomagenesis. It will provide information regarding inception, evolution, growth and involution of nevi. It will provide insights regarding the origin of the different subtypes of melanoma and the existence of slow growing melanomas. The lecture is intended to challenge some existing hypotheses, propose a few new hypotheses and confirm some existing ones.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize the dermoscopic features indicative of growing nevi
Recognize the dermoscopic features associated with the different melanoma subtypes
Recognize the dermoscopic feature indicative of melanoma invasion
