Spontaneous resolution of lentigo maligna: a case report

Abstract

A 64-year-old man with a known history of psoriasis was under regular clinical and reflectance confocal microscopy follow-up for a biopsy-proven lentigo maligna on his right forehead. Five years after the initial diagnosis the lesion gradually disappeared with no concurrent effective treatment. Spontaneous resolution is reported in various skin tumours but to our knowledge, this phenomenon has not been previously described in lentigo maligna.
