Studies have shown that the incidence of melanoma in situ (MIS) is increasing significantly. This study analyzes selected clinical and demographic characteristics of MIS cases observed in private dermatology practices in the US. This study collected 257 MIS cases from 4 private dermatology practices in the US from January 2005 through December 2009, recording age, gender, anatomic location, lesion size, patient-reported change in lesion and concern about lesion. Case totals for invasive melanoma during the same period were recorded. The data collected showed a higher incidence of MIS in sun-exposed areas of older patients, especially males. The median age of patients at the time of MIS detection was 69. The most common site for MIS was the head-neck region. The number of MIS cases collected exceeded the number of invasive malignant melanoma (MM) cases during the study period, with an observed ratio of 1.37:1. For 136 patients, data were collected retrospectively for lesion size, location, gender, and age. For these patients, patient-reported change in lesion and concern about lesion were not collected. Patients often did not consent to a full body examination, therefore, it is possible that MIS lesions may have been missed in double-clothed areas. Careful attention to pigmented lesions, even lesions < 4mm, on sun-exposed areas, including scalp, trunk, and feet, will facilitate earlier diagnosis of MIS. As only 30.4% of males and 50% of females had concern about these lesions, it still falls to the dermatologist to discover MIS.
