“…Nonmelanocytic pigmented lesions can occur on the volar surfaces and include tinea nigra, subcorneal hemorrhage, pigmented ridged warts, anticancer drug-induced hyperpigmentation, and exogenous dye, among others 27,[36][37][38] (see Supplemental Digital Content 1, Table 4, http://links. lww.com/DSS/B301).…”

BACKGROUND Survival outcomes in acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) are worse than for cutaneous melanoma. Diagnostic delays are believed to contribute to worse outcomes in ALM, including advanced-stage disease at initial presentation. Acral lentiginous melanoma, especially in its early stages, may be difficult to discern from benign pigmented acral lesions. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the diagnosis and management of acral pigmented lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature review was performed. The outcomes included were the clinical and dermoscopic features and the management frameworks and considerations for acquired and congenital melanocytic nevi, acral melanosis, nonmelanocytic pigmented lesions, and ALM. RESULTS Original research studies were primarily included. The use of dermoscopy, such as the 3-step algorithm and blotch (irregular), ridge pattern (parallel), asymmetry of structures, asymmetry of colors, furrow pattern (parallel), fibrillar pattern (BRAAFF) checklist, increases the diagnostic accuracy of acral pigmented lesions with high specificity and sensitivity. Short-term digital dermoscopic surveillance can be used to manage acral lesions, and histopathology should be collected when there is a concern for ALM. CONCLUSION The use of dermoscopy and an understanding of how to manage acral lesions may limit the number of biopsies performed on the acral skin, decrease the time to diagnosis, and facilitate early detection of ALM.

“…It is a self-limiting benign condition that usually resolves within a few weeks by avoiding sports activity or any kind of repetitive trauma and using well-cushioned shoes, thick socks, or skin lubrication. Exanthemaassociated capillary fragility can be benefited from vitamin C supplementation [6,[11][12][13][14]. In our case, because of the unusual localization and ambiguity in history, acral melanoma was suspected, and characteristic histopathological findings of the excision biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis as talon noir.…”

Talon noir is an asymptomatic, self-limiting, dermatological condition that is most commonly seen in young athletes and mountain climbers. Histologically, the characteristic findings are intraepidermal hemorrhage and fluid collection due to shearing forces. Here, we report an interesting case in an elderly female, which mimicked acral melanoma clinically and alerted us to do a biopsy for confirmation.
