Evaluation of Clinical and Dermoscopic Features of Acral Melanocytic Nevi in Yozgat

YOZGAT İLİNDE AKRAL MELANOSİTİK NEVÜSLERİN KLİNİK VE DERMOSKOPİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and dermoscopic characteristics of acral melanocytic nevi in the individuals in our province. Methods: In this study, 640 acral melanocytic nevi of 410 patients were evaluated. The demographic features such as age and sex, localization and dermoscopic patterns of nevi were recorded. Results: Of the 410 patients participating in the study, 240 (58.5%) were female and 170 (41.5%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 27 (7-62). Parallel furrow pattern (330, 51.6%) was the most common among all acral lesions. The lattice-like pattern was 96 (15.0%), the fibrillar pattern was 79 (12.3%), the reticular pattern was 52 (8.1%), the homogeneous pattern was 40 (6.3%), and the globular pattern was 23 (3.5% 10 (1.6%), transition pattern was 7 (1.1%) and the multicomponent pattern was 3 (0.5%) seen in the lesions. Conclusion: The three most frequently observed patterns were parallel furrow, lattice-like and fibrillar patterns, respectively. The results of our study were consistent with those reported in previous studies.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, ilimizdeki bireylerde akral melanositik nevüslerin klinik ve dermoskopik özelliklerini değerlendirmektir.Metod: Bu çalışmada 410 hastaya ait 640 akral melanositik nevüs değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaşve cinsiyet gibi demografik özellikleri ile nevüslerin lokalizasyonları ve dermoskopik paternleri kaydedildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 410 hastanın 240’ı (%58.5) kadın, 170’i (%41.5) erkekti. Hastaların yaşortalaması 27 (7-62) idi. Tüm akral lezyonlar içinde en sık paralel oluk paterni (330, %51.6) saptandı. Kafes benzeri patern 96 (%15.0) lezyonda, fibriler patern 79 (%12.3) lezyonda, retiküler patern52 (%8.1) lezyonda, homojen patern 40 (%6.3) lezyonda, globüler patern 23 (%3.5) lezyonda, globüler-ışınsal patern 10 (%1.6) lezyonda, geçiş paterni 7 (%1.1) lezyonda ve çok bileşenli patern 3(%0.5) lezyonda görüldü.Sonuç: En sık görülen üç patern sırasıyla paralel oluk, kafes benzeri ve fibriler patern idi. Çalışmamızın sonuçları daha önce yapılan çalışmalar ile uyumluydu.
