Utility of the Wood's light: five cases from a pigmented lesion clinic
@article{Paraskevas2005UtilityOT, title={Utility of the Wood's light: five cases from a pigmented lesion clinic}, author={L-R Paraskevas and A. Halpern and A. Marghoob}, journal={British Journal of Dermatology}, year={2005}, volume={152} }
Summary We demonstrate the utility of the Wood's light in a practice that specializes in the evaluation of pigmented lesions. The Wood's light assisted the physician in locating the site of a completely regressed primary cutaneous melanoma, determining the clinical borders of a lentigo maligna melanoma, differentiating between agminated naevi and a naevus spilus and detecting the recurrence of pigmentation after the excision of a dysplastic naevus, and also proved useful in monitoring a large… CONTINUE READING
