The image to the left shows a SUPERFICIAL SPREADING MELANOMA. This is
the most common melanoma type. It starts as a flat pigmented skin
lesion, that enlarges in size over a few months, thereby changing its
border contours from regular to irregular. In doing so, marked
indentations and protrusions at the lesion's periphery become visible.
Eventually, it exhibits a vertical growth phase, to be seen as embedded
nodular components within the largely flat lesion. The right image shows
a similar finding in a larger magnification view. The nodular component
can be seen clearly in the upper left corner of the lesion.
