title: Comparison of dermoscopic and histopathological findings in a mucous melanoma of the lip.
abstract: Mucous melanomas on the lip are very rare. None of the few available reports has provided a comparison of dermoscopic and histopathological findings. We describe a 33-year-old Japanese man with a mucous melanoma on the lower lip and present a comparison of our dermoscopic and histopathological findings.
