| Sumario: | Patients with multiple atypical nevi are at higher risk of developing melanoma. Among different techniques, sequential digital dermatoscopic imaging (SDDI) is a state-of-the art method to enhance diagnostic accuracy in evaluating pigmented skin lesions. It relies on analyzing digital dermatoscopic images of a lesion over time to find specific dynamic criteria inferring biologic behavior. SDDI can reduce the number of necessary excisions and finds melanomas in an early—and potentially curable—stage, but precautions in selecting patients and lesions have to be met to reach those goals.
