“…Arborizing vessels are the most typical feature of the nodular subtype, 6,9,19 and arborizing vessels together with ulcerations suggest BCCs with a high risk of local recurrence. 23 In a study conducted in 2013, Lallas et al observed that pigmented structures were more common in nodular tumours. 24 Blue-grey ovoid nests are the most common pigmentation feature in nonsuperficial BCCs 20,24 and enable the prediction of this type of BCC.…”

Dermoscopy is widely used in dermatological practice. The method increases the accuracy of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) detection. Pigmented and nonpigmented variants of basal cell carcinoma present different dermoscopic features. Specific dermoscopy criteria have been recognized in different subtypes of BCC. Differentiation of superficial BCC from other subtypes is the most important issue, as it may determine further management decisions.

“…In another puzzling case, an extremely rare neoplasm; melanoma in situ colonizing BCC showed BWV on dermoscopic examination 15 . Histopathological type and degree of pigmentation affects dermoscopic findings of BCC's and BWV is seen mostly in nodular type tumor, as in our case 11,12,16 . We do not know yet BWV patern in BCC could be related to clinical features of the lesion such as duration of the tumor or ethnicity of the patient.…”

Amaç: Bazal hücreli karsinomanın dermoskopik özellikleri iyi bilinmekle beraber, mavi beyaz varyant bazal hücreli karsinoma yakın zamanda tanımlanmış ve melanomayı taklit eden yönüne vurgu yapılmıştır. Bilgilerimize göre, literatürde bu özel varyant ile ilgili tek bir orjinal araştırma mevcuttur. Biz burada, bazal hücreli karsinomanın bu özel varyantını; klinik, dermoskopik ve histopatolojik yönüyle incelemeyi amaçladık. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda, iki farklı merkezde 2015-2018 yılları arasında histopatolojik olarak bazal hücreli karsinoma tanısı alan vakalar retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Dermoskopik olarak diffüz mavi beyaz alanlar ile prezente olan olgular çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Tüm olguların klinik, histopatolojik, demografik ve dermoskopik özellikleri dokümante edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda toplamda 154 adet histopatolojik olarak doğrulanmış bazal hücreli karsinoma vakası gözden geçirilmiş ve bu vakalardan 15'inin (% 9.74) diffüz mavi beyaz dermoskopik patern ile prezente olduğu saptanmıştır. Vakaların tümü baş bölgesinde lokalizeydi. Tüm vakalarda histolojik inceleme, melanoma ve bazal hücreli karsinoma olmak üzere iki temel ön tanı ile yapılmıştı. Diffüz mavi beyaz alanlardan sonra en sık rastlanan dermoskopik bulgular sırasıyla irregüler serpentin damarlar (% 60), periferal akça ağaç yaprağı benzeri alanlar (% 46.6) ve ülserasyondu (% 46.6). Tüm olguların histopatolojik incelemesi nodüler ya da nodüloülseratif bazal hücreli karsinoma olarak raporlanmıştı. Sonuç: Çalışmamız, bilgilerimize göre, mavi beyaz varyant bazal hücreli karsinoma ile ilgili literatürdeki en geniş kapsamlı çalışma olma özelliğini taşımaktadır. Bu özel varyant, bazal hücreli karsinomanın oldukça sıradışı ve tanısı güç bir prezentasyonudur. Ayırıcı tanıda en önemli antite, melanomadır. Dermoskopik olarak diffüz mavi beyaz alanlar gösteren lezyonlarda bazal hücreli karsinomanın bu varyantı göz önüne alınmalıdır. Bazal hücreli karsinomaya spesifik dermoskopik ipuçlarının saptanması açısından dikkatli bir dermoskopik muayene, eksizyon öncesi diagnostik sürecin daha iyi yönlendirimesine katkı sağlayabilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bazal hücreli karsinoma, dermoskopi, mavi beyaz Aim: Dermoscopic features of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) have been well described in the literature, however, blue white variant of BCC has recently been described as a mimicker of melanoma. When reviewing the literature, it seems that there is just one original research about this special type of BCC. Here we aimed to evaluate this special and challenging variant of BCC cases of two dermatology departments from different regions of Turkey. Patients and Methods: Dermoscopic images of the histopathologically approved BCC cases from two centers between the years 2015-2018 were reviewed. The cases showing diffuse blue white areas on dermoscopy were included in the study. The clinical and histopathological features, dermoscopic images and demographic data of all the cases were evaluated Results: We detected 15 (9.74 %) lesions of BCC with diffuse blue-white...
