“…TRAPP mimics PG clinically, but the dermatoscopic findings are different from those for TRAPP. Most cases of PG have red lacunae associated with white rail lines (WRLs) and occasionally a white collarette [7]. Dermatoscopy of TRAPP has not yet been reported in the literature, although data regarding dermatoscopy of cutaneous pseudolymphoma have been published, showing as predominant features the combination of white reticular lines, a pinkish background and fine linear vessels [8].…”

“…The advantages of dermoscopes in the early detection and diagnoses of skin cancers are well substantiated. Beyond tumours, dermoscopy has been reported to be applicable in the diagnoses of common inflammatory skin diseases [10,11], vascular diseases [12][13][14], and infectious diseases [15][16][17]. The realm of dermoscopy extends to diseases of the skin appendages [18,19] and mucosal surfaces such as the oral mucosa [20].…”

Hypothesis: Dermoscope-guided laser excision is applicable for some cutaneous lesions seen in primary care, particularly those in body flexures or in regions with high blood perfusion. Summary: A male patient presented with an asymptomatic mass behind his left pinna. Polarised dermoscopy revealed signs compatible with malignancy. Excision was difficult owing to the location being concave and the region being one with hyper-perfusion. Dermoscope-guided laser excision was performed. The edge of the lesion and clear margins were marked via dermoscope-guidance. Laser incisions were made following the margins. Dermoscopy confirmed precision of the incision. Upon three laser-dermoscope cycles, the mass separated itself. Laser in coagulation mode achieved haemostasis. Dermoscope-guided laser excision was performed. The edge of the lesion and clear margins were marked via dermoscope-guidance. Laser incisions were made following such margins. Dermoscopy confirmed precision of the incision. Lesion incisions and dermoscopy were then reapplied. Upon three laser-dermoscope cycles, the mass separated itself. Laser in coagulation mode achieved haemostasis. Outcome: The histopathological diagnosis was a pilomatricoma. Healing was uneventful, with minimal scarring. There was no relapse one year post-operatively. Recommendation: Investigations on dermoscope-guided laser incision and other dermoscope-guided surgical procedures in primary care settings can be conducted to evaluate the outcomes of these procedures.
