New insights in naevogenesis: Number, distribution and dermoscopic patterns of naevi in the elderly

摘要

Background/Objectives: It is well recognized that the number and patterns of acquired melanocytic naevi vary with age, but little is known about naevus patterns in the elderly. This is a cross-sectional study assessing the prevalence, dermoscopic pattern and anatomical distribution of naevus subtypes in a stratified cohort aged between 60 and 89?years.
