Abstract
Lentigo maligna (LM) is the most common type of melanoma in situ. As LM is related to cumulative sun exposure, it often presents on the face of elderly patients. In this paper we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the most common treatments for LM in the Netherlands, such as conventional surgery, micrographic surgery, imiquimod with or without ablative laser therapy and close follow up.
