Description

Akari Terada and colleagues follow, in 2026, a cluster of moles on a woman's sole over nine years, a record the authors say is unmatched in detail. Such grouped moles, called acquired agminated melanocytic nevi, are rare on the palms or soles and can mimic melanoma because spots multiply and vary in colour.

The woman first noticed twelve small spots at age twelve. Their number began rising spontaneously at thirty-six, and at thirty-nine she sought care. Examination found many brown spots of a few millimetres within a small area of the right sole. Magnified skin examination showed a benign parallel furrow pattern. During follow-up to age forty-eight, some spots darkened and new ones appeared, especially around a biopsy scar, while the overall pattern stayed benign.
