| Some of the more common skin problems among the elderly include dry skin, seborrheic keratosis and actinic lentigo. |
| Lentigo maligna melanoma is where a patch of lentigo maligna develops a papule or nodule signalling invasive tumour. |
| In lentigo maligna, the most frequent cell type is a spindled hyperchromatic melanocyte with scant cytoplasm. |
| The development of an elevated nodule within the area of pigmentation indicates the change to vertically invasive lentigo maligna melanoma. |
| Changes to deep-black colour and elevation or slight infiltration suggest lentigo maligna melanoma. |
| In conclusion, a small decrease of the pigmentation of the lentigo on the back of the hand was seen while the spot under the eye was greatly improved. |
