| Abstract: | The clinical identification of amelanotic malignant melanoma (AMM) and hypomelanoticmalignant melanoma (HMM) becomes difficult due to the lack of pigmentation and to thediverse clinical presentations. Dermoscopy is very useful in these cases, increasingthe level of suspicion of malignancy. We report 4 cases of amelanotic malignantmelanoma and hypomelanotic malignant melanoma with characteristic dermoscopicfindings. Dermoscopy under polarized light demonstrates vascular polymorphism,globules and milky-red areas, in addition to chrysalis and multiple blue-graydots. |
