ABSTRACT

Figure 8g.3b Dermoscopy reveals a scar-like area with a few dotted vessels. Cysts may display arborizing vessels (Fig. 8g.4) coursing over their surface but they will never have dotted vessels on their surface. Thus, the presence of a cystic nodule with dotted vessels is highly unusual. The biopsy of this lesion was consistent with desmoplastic melanoma.
