Clinically, areas of blue or grey colouration in lesions may be indicative of regression. Dermoscopy is a very useful tool for diagnosing regression. An important criterion is the blue-white scar. About 10- 35% of excised melanomas show features of regression histopathologically. We present a case of regressing melanoma, with clinical and dermoscopic features suggesting a collision tumour, diagnosed histopathologically. This case might improve our knowledge of the potential clinical manifestations, and the biology, of regressing melanoma.Keywords: regressing melanoma, collision lesion, blue-white scar, pepper-like granules, milia-like cysts, pseudofollicular openings | ||
