Dermatoscopy of combined blue nevi: A multicenter study of the International Dermoscopy Society

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Dec 10, 2020

Stojkovic‐Filipovic J, Tiodorovic D, Lallas A, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to better describe combined blue nevi and to compare it with melanoma. They obtained clinical and dermatoscopic images of 111 histologically confirmed combined blue nevi and contrasted their dermatoscopic features with 132 partly blue colored melanomas. In addition, they compared the accuracy of human experts using pattern analysis with a computer algorithm based on deep learning. Combined blue nevi are typically flat or slightly elevated and, relative to melanoma, are more common on the head and neck. The combined blue nevi usually lack clues of melanoma, particularly white lines. The precision of the combined nevi pattern analysis is appropriate and there may be no need for histopathologic confirmation in exemplary cases.
