Highlight
- An AI model based on deep learning achieved 84.2% accuracy differentiating lentigo maligna (LM) from benign facial pigmented lesions.
- AI assistance improved dermatology residents’ diagnostic accuracy from 64.9% to 74.0%, with a 16.5% gain specifically in LM detection.
- The study focused on facial lesions in chronically sun-damaged skin, a challenging and underrepresented setting in AI skin lesion research.
- Findings support AI as an adjunct tool for improving diagnostic confidence and educational value in clinical dermatology.
