Evaluation of a Yellowish-Tan Plaque Surrounding a Preexisting Nevus

Le résumé fourni par la source

ABSTRACT Rapid changes in size and color at the site of a preexisting nevus may be concerning to both patients and medical providers. Distinguishment of benign versus malignant changes may be difficult, especially when there is concern for malignancy and in cases of nonspecific clinical presentation. The current case illustrates a common cause of yellowish-tan papules and plaques. This case also highlights clinical methods to distinguish this condition from similarly appearing presentations, as recognition and appropriate treatment of this condition using noninvasive techniques may prevent further invasive workup.
