Pigmented lesions in acral areas are very frequent in our population. Acral lentiginous melanoma in our environment is usually diagnosed in advance stages. Therefore, the importance of proper dermoscopy and histopathological correlation in suspicious lesions is essential.
We present the case of a patient with longitudinal melanonychia in the first finger of the right hand with dermoscopic follow-up.
