This week we have another engaging case. A 75-year-old Caucasian Australian male with a past history of solar keratosis and no previous melanoma or significant personal or family history of melanoma. Previously, he worked only indoors. The patient presented for opinion on a darker area of change in an existing “freckle” on his neck that was present for several years.

How would you respond to this presentation?

Please note: In this case, we will upload more images and information throughout the week to help you make your diagnosis, so please check back for updates.

We encourage you to participate in the case discussions and submit your own clinical images and questions, so we can all learn together.
