Research summary: Guidelines for managing Spitz naevi
This month we revisit the important topic of Spitz naevi. I had reason to review the guidelines recently, because of a case I saw in my clinic. Since we don’t see these cases so often, I think it is useful to remind ourselves of the management protocol.
For further information on this topic, you may be interested to learn more about the HealthCert Professional Diploma program in Skin Cancer Medicine.
The below paper summarises the distinction – and overlap – between Spitz naevi and Spitz melanoma, and provides a very useful flow chart that guides us in our clinical process for managing Spitz naevi.
I have printed out the flow chart and attached it to the monitor in my clinic.
Read the full research paper here.
