Early detection of malignant skin tumors, particularly malignant melanoma in childhood, which is most malignant of all, is of utmost importance for the prevention, treatment and outcome of the disease. If an observed lesion is characterized as melanocytic, the second step can be performed in the so called “two-step dermoscopy” algorithm, which includes the differentiation between a benign pigmented lesion (nevus) and a malignant lesion (melanoma). Gigantic nevi, as a subgroup of large congenital nevi, may pose a huge psycho-social burden for children and their parents, primarily because of potential complications. Melanoma can develop in healthy children but also in those with identified genetic disorder or immune diseases. Dermoscopy, at the same time, has reduced the number of unnecessary biopsies and excisions of benign melanocytic lesions in childhood. |
