Amelanotic melanoma mimicking cutaneous epitheliomas.

DERMOSCOPIC APPEARANCE The dermoscopic analysis (Fig 2) revealed peripheral dotted vessels, linear irregular vessels, milky red areas, and white streaks, suggestive of melanoma. However, there were no structures or vascular patterns found in cutaneous epitheliomas, such as leaf-like areas, blue-gray ovoid nests, or arborizing or glomerular vessels. It is noteworthy that no brown, black, gray, or blue structures that would be suggestive of a melanocytic origin were found.
