Abstract

Background and Design: Compared to nevi in other regions, acral melanocytic nevi have special dermoscopic features due to their anatomical localizations. It may be difficult to distinguish the melanocytic nevi in these regions from early acral melanoma. For this reason, it is important to know the dermoscopic patterns of acral melanocytic nevi. Our aim was to evaluate the dermoscopic patterns and distribution features of acral melanocytic nevi. Material and Method: One hundred ninety-six acquired acral melanocytic nevi of 131 patients were evaluated retrospectively in this study. The demographic features such as age and sex, localization and pattern of nevi were recorded. Results: Of the 131 patients, 77 (58.7%) were female and 54 (41.3%) were male. Of all nevi, 92 (46.9%) were present on the palms, 104 (53.1%) were present on the soles. The localizations of acral nevi were as follows: inner arch (20%), finger (18.4%), hypothenar (12.8%), middle region (12.8%), thenar (11.7%), outer arch (10.2%), metatarsal region (8.7%) and heel (5.6%). The most common dermoscopic pattern was parallel furrow pattern (40.8%). The other patterns seen were homogeneous (15.8%), latticelike (11.7%), fibrillar (9.7%), globular (9.7%), reticular (5.6%), nontypical (3.6%), the pattern suggestive of malignancy (2.0%) and transition pattern (1%). Parallel furrow pattern, fibrillar and homogenous patterns were significantly more frequent on fingers, inner arch and outer arch, given in decreasing order (p

Özet

Amaç: Akral melanositik nevüsler anatomik yerleşimlerinden dolayı diğer bölgelerdeki nevüslere göre değişik dermoskopik özellikler göstermektedir. Bu bölgelerde yerleşmiş melanositik nevüslerin, erken dönem akral melanomdan ayırt edilmesi zor olabilir. Bu yüzden benin akral melanositik nevüslerin dermoskopik paternlerinin bilinmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, akral melanositik nevüslerin dermoskopik paternleri ve dağılım özelliklerini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, 131 hastaya ait 196 akkiz akral melanositik nevüs geriye yönelik olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaş ve cinsiyet gibi demografik özellikleri ile nevüslerin lokalizasyonları ve patern özellikleri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 131 hastanın 77’si kadın (%58,7), 54’ü (%41,3) erkekti. Nevüslerin 92’si (%46,9) avuç içinde, 104’ü (%53,1) ayak tabanında bulunuyordu. Akral nevüslerin lokalizasyonları sırasıyla iç arkus (%20), parmak (%18,4), hipotenar (%12,8), orta bölge (%12,8), tenar (%11,7), dış arkus (%10,2), metatars (%8,7) ve topuk (%5,6) idi. En sık görülen patern paralel oluk paterni idi (%40,8). Görülen diğer dermoskopik paternler sırasıyla homojen (%15,8), kafes benzeri (%11,7), fibriler (%9,7), globuler (%9,7), retiküler (%5,6), tipik olmayan (%3,6), malinite şüphesi olan (%2,0) ve geçiş paterni (%1) idi. Paralel oluk paterni, fibriler patern ve homojen patern sırasıyla en sık parmaklarda, dış arkusta ve iç arkusta görüldü (sırasıyla p
