Primary acquired melanosis with spill over periocular lentigo maligna: 19-year outcomes at a specialist eyelid and ocular oncology centre
PAM with atypia, particularly severe atypia, when associated with spill over periocular LM, may have significant risk of progression to melanoma. Patients with PAM require careful eyelid examination to identify LM. Management requires multidisciplinary input, urgent biopsy and confocal microscopy if available, lower threshold for treatment and lifelong monitoring.
