ABSTRACT
Lentigo maligna (LM) is a subtype of melanoma in situ that may become lentigo maligna melanoma. LM is a pigmented lesion that most commonly occurs on sun-exposed skin inthe elderly. Intense exposure to ultraviolet light also accounts for nonmelanotic skin tumors, and particularly basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We herein report on a case of LM and BCC on the right face of a 76-year-old woman. She presented with a longstanding irregular-shaped brown to black pigmented patch on the right infra-orbital area, and a pigmented dome-shaped papule on the right nasolabial fold. The histopathologic findings were consistent with LM and BCC. We performed surgical excisions and there has been no recurrence for 10 months.
