Wide skin markings pattern: melanoma descriptor or patient-related factor? reply from the authors

We read with great interest the letter by Rishpon and Colleagues on our paper titled "Uncovering the diagnostic dermoscopic features of flat melanomas located on the lower limbs". In the current letter, we investigated a series of 247 lesions, including 71 thin melanomas, located on lower limbs with the aim to identify diagnostic specific dermoscopic criteria for melanoma diagnosis. Furthermore, a new dermoscopic descriptor, namely wider skin markings was introduced.
