Three cases today but they are virtually spot diagnoses. I dont have the histology back as yet for Case 1 but should have it by envelope time and will have a video done by then. Case 1 Male 68. noted during skin check. PH of several melanomas with the surgical scars on his back not my work. If you think this is a melanoma how thick would it be? (I really want P Bourne to answer this one.)


Case 1 Pigmented lesion back, Had lots of surgical excisions elsewhere[

I would also like to remind you about registering for this College Dermatoscopy and Histopathology Meeting in November. The visiting speaker Dr Clay Cockerell is an excellent lecturer and a leader in the field of skin cancer pathology. This should be a very worthwhile meeting to improve both your dermatoscopy and histopathology skills. We have had 3 cases for the Gems presentations. The Australian Institute of Dermatology is offering one of the following two Dermatopathology Textbooks to each Gems presenter so get in early.
