Q

chaos and clues - what are the 8 clues of malignancy

A

63
Q

chaos and clues - malignancy clue in this image

A

parallel ridge pattern

64
Q

chaos and clues - clues - what is a structureless zone

A

any zone of a lesion that isn’t skin colored but doesn’t fit with the other colors either

65
Q

chaos and clues - structureless zones - location on lesion that suggests malignancy

A

any zone not in the center

66
Q

chaos and clues - clues - when are reticular or branched zones suspicious

A

when the lines are thicker than the spaces they enclose

66
Q

chaos and clues - what does ‘pagetoid spread’ mean

A

spreading of melanin filled melanocytes in superficial epidermis, usually dark black

67
Q

chaos and clues - clues - when are radial lines benign vs sign of malignancy

A

benign - circumferential
malignant - segmental ie only parts have it

68
Q

chaos and clues - melanoma clues - parallel ridging is associated with what skin gland

A

Melanin pigment that is concentrated on the broader ridges which are defined by the eccrine duct openings, is a clue to melanoma even in the absence of chaos
