If left untreated, LM will progress to lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM), a form of invasive melanoma with the same prognosis as other forms of invasive melanoma. LM is more common in the elderly, with a peak occurrence between the ages of 65 and 80 years. LM, however, is rarely present on the trunk and extremities. The diagnosis of LM, confirmed by histopathological and biopsy examination, is based on clinical and dermoscopic features. It typically begins as a tan-brown macule or patch, but it can progress to a variegated pigmentation with dark black color or even amelanotic characteristics. The risk factors involved in the LM development include a history of sunburns, lighter skin types, advanced age, history of nonmelanoma skin cancers, and tendency to form solar lentigines. This article explains the clinical presentation of LM, also reviews the available information on the diagnosis and management of LM, and discusses the potential of such information in facilitating the future prospective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/7178305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,26]],"date-time":"2021-07-26T19:50:09Z","timestamp":1627329009000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Diagnosis and Management of Lentigo Maligna: Clinical Presentation and Comprehensive Review"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6499-4062","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Piyu Parth","family":"Naik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Saudi German Hospitals and Clinics, Hessa Street 331 West, Al Barsha 3, Exit 36 Sheikh Zayed Road, Opposite of American School, Dubai, UAE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2217\/mmt.15.3"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000502470"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2011.05.034"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/abd1806-4841.20132036"},{"key":"5","volume-title":"Diagnosis and Management of Lentigo Maligna: A Review.
