Abstract

BACKGROUND: Surgical excision with clear histopathological margins is the preferred treatment to prevent progression of lentigo maligna (LM) to invasive melanoma. However, the assessment of resection margins on sun-damaged skin is challenging. We developed a deep learning model for detection of melanocytes in resection margins of LM.
