Regular follow-up is the most important preventive measure in patients with high risk for the development of melanoma. Particular attention is required for patients with dysplastic nevus syndrome, in which numerous lesions must be differentiated from malignant melanoma. General principles of monitoring of clinically atypical melanocytic lesions with the use of dermoscopy and indications for a diagnostic biopsy are discussed in the article.
