Lentigo maligna of the face: A quantitative simple method to identify individual patient risk probability on dermoscopy

The clinical and dermoscopic differential diagnosis of flat pigmented facial lesions represents a great challenge for the clinicians. Our aim was to report a quantitative method based on dermoscopic features to better classify pigmented facial lesions.
