Dermoscopic clues to differentiate facial lentigo maligna from pigmented actinic keratosis

Dermoscopy is limited in differentiating accurately between pigmented lentigo maligna (LM) and pigmented actinic keratosis (PAK). This might be related to the fact that most studies have focused on pigmented criteria only, without considering additional recognizable features.
