Abstract

The article presents a case study of a late 70s man with a pigmented facial lesion, recently changed in size and color, potentially indicative of lentigo maligna. Topics discussed include differential diagnosis and management options, including excisional biopsy, radiation therapy, and imiquimod treatment, as well as patient decision-making processes in the face of comorbidities and treatment refusal.
