case_images: Examination revealed a 5 cm ovoid pink-white, minimally scaly, thin plaque with intact sensation and without pain or itch (Figure 1(a), a'). Pathology was consistent with a diagnosis of melanoma in situ, lentigo maligna-type (Figures 1(b) and 1(c)). The excision of the clinical residual was significant for invasive lentigo maligna melanoma, Breslow depth 0.3 mm (Figures 1(d) and 1(e)).
