title: Recurrent lentigo maligna as amelanotic lentigo maligna melanoma.
abstract: Amelanotic lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma are extremely rare tumours. Even rarer is a recurrent amelanotic lentigo maligna or amelanotic lentigo maligna melanoma at the site of a previously removed pigmented lentigo maligna. We describe two cases of recurrent amelanotic lentigo maligna melanoma manifesting as erythematous plaques evolved from previously excised pigmented lentigo maligna.
