Dermatoscopic features of thin (≤2 mm Breslow thickness) vs. thick (>2 mm Breslow thickness) nodular melanoma and predictors of nodular melanoma versus nodular non‐melanoma tumours: a multicentric collaborative study by the International Dermoscopy Society

Thin nodular melanoma (NM) often lacks conspicuous melanoma‐specific dermatoscopic criteria and escapes clinical detection until it progresses to a thicker and more advanced tumour.
