In this week's case discussion, from Dr Terry Harvey, we look at a 65-year-old male patient who presents for a full skin check with no specific concerns.

This 2x2mm pigmented lesion is found on his left shoulder. What do you think of it? What would you do next?

Case A - Shoulder

Update

This lesion was excised, and the pathology result was a pigmented superficial multifocal BCC.
