title: Dermoscopic features of cutaneous local recurrent melanoma.
abstract: We describe for the first time the dermoscopic features of cutaneous recurrent melanoma including a globular pattern and a diffuse nonhomogeneous pigmentation. These findings greatly differ from those observed in primary cutaneous melanoma and should be considered in the dermoscopic differential diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions.
