Abstract
The clinical diagnosis of amelanotic melanoma may pose diagnostic diff iculties. We report three cases of amelanotic lentigo maligna, two of which developed an invasive component (lentigo maligna melanoma). The clinical appearances in each case mimicked intraepidermal squamous car cinoma. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
