These structures are more frequently found in cutaneous melanoma.38,39 The pigmented skin lesions with very atypical or nonspecific dermoscopic patterns should be excised for definitive diagnosis by pathology.40,41 Moreover, in patients with multiple nevi, including those with dysplastic nevi and AMS, who tend to have a large number of evolving lesions, dermoscopy alone is not always sufficient to distinguish between benign lesions or new individually suspicious ones.8,42 Thus, the monitoring of nevi in at-risk patients by total body mapping and digital dermoscopy is crucial for both early identification of malignant lesions and the minimization of unnecessary biopsies of benign lesions.43,44 Total body mapping and digital dermoscopy allow for storage of macroscopic and dermoscopic images for comparison over time
