- Abstract:
- Spitz nevi of special sites, such as the ear, appear rarely and pose a challenge with worrisome clinical, dermoscopic, or histopathological features. Our aim was to evaluate the morphological findings of a series of Spitz nevi of the ear in order to obtain more knowledge about their clinical-dermoscopic patterns. Of a total of six cases, three main dermoscopic structures were found: pseudonetwork, structureless areas, and cobblestone pattern. Our preliminary findings suggest that dermoscopy may be helpful in improving the diagnostic accuracy of Spitz nevus of the ear and minimize surgery in a sensitive location.
