Jul 21st, 2020 - To update pediatric providers on new developments in our understanding of the clinical presentation, genetics, and systemic risks associated with congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN). CMN are primarily caused by sporadic postzygotic somatic mutations...

Jul 19th, 2020 - Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is one of the four major subtypes of cutaneous melanoma (CM) and occurs on the palms, soles, and nail beds of the body. CM has often been associated with sun exposure1 , but ALM occurs in generally unexposed anatom...

Jun 27th, 2020 - Junctional melanocytic nevi are common. Furthermore, surgical treatment of these nevi can be challenging due to scar formation. The study aims to detect the efficacy and safety of the CO2 fractional laser for treating acquired junctional melanocyt...

Jun 17th, 2020 - Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a high-resolution, non-invasive tool currently FDA-approved for obtaining and interpreting images of the skin and cutaneous neoplasms with the goal of decreasing biopsy of benign lesions. Part II of this co...

Jun 2nd, 2020 - Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is a promising non-invasive imaging tool for discriminating benign nevi from melanoma. In this study, we establish a MPM morphologic catalogue of common nevi, information that will be critical in devising strategies to...

Oct 27th, 2014 - A new consensus-based classification of congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) has recently been proposed. It includes categories for projected adult size (PAS) and location, satellite nevi counts, and morphologic characteristics (color heterogeneity, ...

Sep 27th, 2018 - DISCUSSION Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMNs) affect about 1% of newborns, appearing within months after birth. There is no unanimity in opinion regarding their origin, although they appear to be hereditary in some cases.

Jun 1st, 2018 - Here are 4 articles from the June issue of Clinician Reviews (individual articles are valid for one year from date of publication—expiration dates below): 1. Dermatology Practice Gaps: Missed Diagnoses To take the posttest, go to: https://bit.

Apr 5th, 2018 - Still, the research that does exist provides plenty of hints about risk. “Large epidemiological studies showed that recreational activities such as sun exposure on the beach or during water sports were associated with an increased risk of basal ce.

Mar 2nd, 2018 - “If the scanning brain MRI is normal, [children] might not have congenital melanocytic nevus syndrome, and would be at low risk for melanoma,” Dr. Huang said.

May 12th, 2017 - The importance of educating tattoo artists on identifying and being careful around skin with melanocytic nevi and other lesions was highlighted by the results of a survey of tattoo artists, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. “.
