Dermoscopy of melanocytic lesions in patients affected by oculocutaneous albinism: a case series.
[oculocutaneous albinism]
Although
the
majority
of
skin
cancers
in
albino
patients
consists
of
squamous
and
basal
cell
carcinomas
,
malignant
melanomas
have
also
been
described
,
albeit
less
frequently
.
The
aim
of
our
study
was
to
evaluate
melanocytic
lesions
in
albino
patients
to
look
for
any
recurrent
dermoscopic
pattern
.
We
enrolled
12
consecutive
albino
patients
presenting
to
our
department
and
examined
each
patient
for
the
presence
of
melanocytic
nevi
with
the
unaided
eye
and
then
with
dermoscopy
.
Melanocytic
lesions
with
suspicious
clinical
or
dermoscopic
features
were
excised
and
histopathologically
evaluated
.
Analysis
of
the
recorded
images
permitted
us
to
find
two
main
dermoscopic
patterns
in
this
group
of
patients
.
The
first
one
was
represented
by
a
homogeneous
light-
brown
yellowish
pattern
associated
with
comma-like
and
dotted
vessels
;
the
second
one
consisted
of
a
classical
brown
reticular
pattern
frequently
associated
with
central
depigmentation
and
with
comma-like
vessels
.
Moreover
,
based
on
some
atypical
dermoscopic
features
,
in
2
patients
we
excised
3
melanomas
in
situ
(
in
the
same
patient
)
and
a
thick
melanoma
(
3
.
2
mm
)
.
Dermoscopy
may
represent
a
useful
tool
for
the
evaluation
of
melanocytic
lesions
in
albino
patients
,
permitting
an
early
diagnosis
of
melanoma
.
