“…The third most common pattern reported in our study was homogeneous; it was detected in 17 lesions (7.6%), while Barquet et al . detected this pattern in 12.7 lesions.…”

“…detected this pattern in 78 lesions (10.8%). The prevalence rates of this pattern vary between 6 and 21% . The non‐typical pattern was detected in 12 lesions (5.4%).…”

“…found 520 (70.5%) lesions of 723 cases on the soles, 146 (20.2%) on fingers, and 67 (9.3%) on palms. In addition, Barquet et al . found that 81 of 158 lesions (51.3%) were located on the palms, while 77 (58.7%) were found on the soles.…”
