Dermoscopy of Scalp Melanoma: Report of Three Cases

Scalp melanoma is rare and often late-discovered because of its unusual position.

description Scalp melanoma is rare and often late-discovered because of its unusual position. As a consequence, its prognosis is poorer than melanoma on other body sites and only few clinical reports about its dermoscopic pattern have been published. In this paper, we report three clinical cases of scalp melanoma with photographic documentation and dermoscopic images, in order to improve the early detection of scalp melanoma.
