Lentigo maligna is a type of melanoma that presents as a brown to black, flat lesion, usually on the face or neck. The lesion often has an irregular shape and border, and may resemble a "stained glass" window due to different shades of brown throughout the lesion. Actinic keratosis, seborrhea keratosis, and superficial spreading malignant melanoma do not typically appear as stained glass brownish marks.
