In this week's case, submitted by Dr Randa Al-Hajali, we look at a 28-year-old woman presenting with a lesion on her thigh. She states the lesion "appeared from nowhere" one year ago with no changes noticed.

She has no relevant medical history. Her sister had cutaneous B cell lymphoma.

What do you think of the dermoscopy image, and what would you do next?
