Lentigo maligna (LM) is a slow-growing subtype of melanoma that often occurs on chronically sun-damaged skin, particularly the head and neck, in the elderly. Due to its clinical and histopathologic mimicry of benign lesions, it is often misdiagnosed for years or even decades, which can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. This activity summarizes the key findings of LM and discusses this disease’s unique diagnostic and treatment challenges.
