Interestingly, Case 4, reported as subungual melanoma <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">in situ</span>, had less clinical and dermoscopic suspicion during the initial evaluation. The biopsy showed lentiginous melanocytic proliferation with rare nests, focal cytologic atypia, and preserved symmetry. Acral MN may present with cytoarchitectural atypia without indicating malignancy, while subungual melanoma may have few atypia in the initial phase, which makes the differential diagnosis between these two entities a difficult one. Considering the preservation of histological symmetry and the long period of 10 years of evolution with no evidence of progression to invasive melanoma, Case 4 is more likely to represent an MN than an <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">in situ</span> melanoma.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The cases described herein illustrate the challenge in managing children with LM. Although the appearance and behavior of the lesion can be challenging, simulating melanoma, some authors disagree with the systematic indication of biopsy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Management should be individualized, prioritizing clinical and dermoscopic follow-up, in addition to considering the family's level of anxiety. When, however, the biopsy is chosen, it is important that it is guided by intraoperative dermoscopy and performed tangentially when possible, minimizing the risk of nail distrophy. When facing an irregular pattern on intraoperative dermoscopy, however, excisional biopsy may be chosen, aiming at a lower risk of recurrence. Moreover, the analysis by a pathologist with expertise in melanocytic lesions is imperative.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0025">Financial support</span><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">None declared.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0030">Authors' contributions</span><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Isabela Boechat Morato: Design and planning of the study, data collection, drafting and editing of the manuscript, critical review of intellectual content, approval of the final version of the manuscript.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">João Renato Vianna Gontijo: Drafting and editing of the manuscript and critical review of the relevant intellectual content, approval of the final version of the manuscript.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Glaysson Tassara Tavares: Drafting and editing of the manuscript and critical review of the relevant intellectual content, approval of the final version of the manuscript.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Flávia Vasques Bittencourt: Drafting and editing of the manuscript and critical review of the relevant intellectual content, approval of the final version of the manuscript.</p></span><span id="sec0035" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">None declared.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:8 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Case 1" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Case 2" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Case 3" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Case 4" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Financial support" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Authors' contributions" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 7 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2020-11-17" "fechaAceptado" => "2021-02-15" "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "⋆" "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="npar0005">Study conducted at the Dermatology Service, Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil.</p>" ] ] "multimedia" => array:4 [ 0 => array:8 [ "identificador" => "fig0005" "etiqueta" => "Figure 1" "tipo" => "MULTIMEDIAFIGURA" "mostrarFloat" => true "mostrarDisplay" => false "figura" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "imagen" => "gr1.jpeg" "Alto" => 1975 "Ancho" => 2508 "Tamanyo" => 317186 ] ] "detalles" => array:1 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "at0005" "detalle" => "Figure " "rol" => "short" ] ] "descripcion" => array:1 [ "en" => "<p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">(A), Clinical aspect of the LM, taking up 50% of the total thickness of the left hallux nail.
