Nested melanoma, a relatively new subtype of melanoma first reported in 2012, is characterised by neoplastic cells organised into nests. We present a unique case of yellow nested melanoma, detailing its clinical, dermoscopic, RCM, and, for the first time to our knowledge, LC-OCT features. Alongside a comprehensive review of the literature, our findings challenge the traditional associations with advanced age and sun-damaged skin, advocating for the term ‘nested melanoma’ to better reflect its characteristics.

Abstract

Nested melanoma, a relatively new subtype of melanoma first reported in 2012, is characterised by neoplastic cells organised into nests. We present a unique case of yellow nested melanoma, detailing its clinical, dermoscopic, RCM, and, for the first time to our knowledge, LC-OCT features. Alongside a comprehensive review of the literature, our findings challenge the traditional associations with advanced age and sun-damaged skin, advocating for the term ‘nested melanoma’ to better reflect its characteristics.
