Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: There is no data about melanocytic lesions in Turkish patients with melanoma. We aimed to investigate number of melanocytic nevi in melanoma patients compared with control subjects. Methods: We performed a retrospective study in 78 melanoma patients and 78 control subjects. Clinical data were recorded for all participants. Results: As compared with control subjects, patients had more common nevi than control subjects on the legs. The patients and control subjects had similar number of overall and dysplastic nevi. Conclusions: Furthermore, the number of nevi is not a risk factor for our patients, and patients with few or no moles may develop MM, all patients need attention.
