Abstract
Incidence of cutaneous melanoma in patients with histologically confirmed dysplastic naevus: A follow-up study in a large UK Healthcare Trust.
Highlights
Dear Editor, Management of dysplastic naevi (DN) is controversial
The recent multicentre study by Kim et al.[2] helped to further elucidate the risk of subsequent cutaneous melanoma in patients with DN and guide pragmatic management of moderately severe DN, but there remains a lack of overarching consensus guidance for clinicians and a notable paucity of outcome data in the United Kingdom
We sought to contribute to the international debate with a study aiming to evaluate outcomes for patients with histologically proven DN and the incidence of subsequent cutaneous melanoma (CM) in a large UK centre
Summary
Incidence of cutaneous melanoma in patients with histologically confirmed dysplastic naevus: A follow‐up study in a large UK Healthcare Trust Opinion is divided regarding their definition, histological grading, clinical significance and risk of subsequently developing cutaneous melanoma (CM). The recent multicentre study by Kim et al.[2] helped to further elucidate the risk of subsequent cutaneous melanoma in patients with DN and guide pragmatic management of moderately severe DN, but there remains a lack of overarching consensus guidance for clinicians and a notable paucity of outcome data in the United Kingdom.
