- Description
- This lattice lesion in a 27-year-old woman shows a reddish crater with much pigmentation. The pigment clumping is caused by a secondary degenerative change in the pigment epithelium. An arteriole crosses the upper end of the lesion and it becomes very narrow and its walls become white has it does so.
