Lentigo Simplex

What is Lentigo Simplex

A lentigo (pl. lentigines) is a small, sharply circumscribed, pigmented macule surrounded by normal-appearing skin. These lesions occur on sun-exposed skin, especially face, arms, and hands. Lesions are flat, and pigmented in shades of brown, with characteristically sharp borders. They tend to fade with sun avoidance.

Lentigo simplex is the most common form of lentigo, but its frequency has yet to be determined. Lentigo simplex is not induced by sun exposure, and it is not associated with systemic disease.
