Clinical usefulness of dermoscopy in the management of lentigo maligna melanoma treated with topical imiquimod: A case report.

The importance of dermoscopy for diagnosing lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) is well known. More recently, dermoscopy has been proposed as a useful tool also for the treatment choice and monitoring. Herein, we present an 87-year-old woman, who was successfully treated with imiquimod 5% cream after surgical persistence of residual LMM and for whom dermoscopy was helpful to assist diagnosis and assess tumor persistence after surgery and its response to topical treatment with imiquimod.
