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...

May 26th, 2020 - There is lack of uniformity in the reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) terminology for melanocytic lesions. To review published RCM terms for melanocytic lesions and identify redundant, synonymous terms. Systematic review of original research ar...

May 3rd, 2020 - Agminated nevus refers to a clustered group of melanocytic nevi confined to a localized area of the body. It rarely involves acral skin, but recognition of acquired agminated nevus (AAN) in the acral area is clinically important because it may mim...

Apr 23rd, 2020 - Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are cutaneous malformations whose prevalence is inversely correlated with projected adult size. CMN are caused by somatic mutations, but epidemiological studies suggest that germline genetic factors may influence ...

Apr 20th, 2020 - This study presents the results of complete excision of giant congenital melanocytic nevi (GCMN) on the auricle, forehead, or periorbital area combined with tissue expansion, and skin graft transplantation performed in two stages based on 10 years...

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, ...

Oct 24th, 2018 - Dysplastic Nevi Since their original characterization by Clark and colleagues in 1978,[1] dysplastic nevi have posed a management dilemma, given their position in the gray area between benign melanocytic nevi and malignant melanoma. Even their his...

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.
