Our report is the first to describe corkscrew vessels in a benign lesion, as they have only been observed in nodular melanoma, desmoplastic melanoma, and cutaneous melanoma metastases. 2 Therefore, dermoscopic differential diagnosis may include amelanotic melanoma. Corkscrew vessels may correspond in this case to the dilated neoformed dermal capillaries that are disposed parallel to the epidermis.AEH does not need any treatment nor a follow-up, because it is a benign lesion. However, the lesion is usually observed or excised, as in our case, due to its misleading clinical presentation.This is the first case to describe corkscrew vessels on dermoscopy in a lesion other than melanoma, namely in an AEH. A study of the dermoscopic aspects of this rare entity is needed to confirm the relevance of corkscrew vessels in AEH.
