Dermaimaging

In a 56-year-old woman, on the nose

What to see at dermoscopy:

-pseudonetwork
-irregular pigmentation around follicular opening (circle)
-erythema
-finguerprint-like structures
-moth-eaten border

Biopsy at the irregular pigmentation (circle area) was indicated to rule out a lentigo melanoma
Histology correlation: actinic keratosis

Comment: the finding of finguerprint-like structures and the moth-eaten border indicates the possibility of coexistence of a solar lentigo beside the actinic keratosis.
