Abstract :
On January 2012, we visited a 48-year-old woman for her skin lesion on the left eyebrow. It had been appeared as an asymptomatic lesion with gradual enlargement since 2 years ago. There was no family history of a similar lesion. No drug was used by the patient.
Physical examination revealed a nearly 1 cm, dark brown,
non-ulcerated, oval shaped plaque on the distal part of the left
eyebrow. The inferior medial part of the lesion was lighter in
color. On palpation, the periphery of the lesion was flattened
and the centre was elevated (Figure 1).We took a 3 mm punch
biopsy from the lesion.
