Lentigo maligna melanoma- MedGen UID:
- 439437
- •Concept ID:
- C2739810

- Neoplastic Process
A subtype of melanoma in situ that typically develops on sun-damaged skin. The lesion is typically a large, irregularly pigmented macule that has developed from an ordinary lentigo (a small pigmented spot on the skin with a clearly-defined edge). Change to a malignant lentigo typically takes place over 20 years or more, and many patients accept the change as a consequence of aging.

Although hypertelorism means an excessive distance between any paired organs (e.g., the nipples), the use of the word has come to be confined to ocular hypertelorism. Hypertelorism occurs as an isolated feature and is also a feature of many syndromes, e.g., Opitz G syndrome (see 300000), Greig cephalopolysyndactyly (175700), and Noonan syndrome (163950) (summary by Cohen et al., 1995).
