Abstract: Dermoscopy is a very useful technique for the analysis of pigmented skin lesions. It represents a link between clinical and histological views, permitting an earlier diagnosis of skin melanoma. It also helps in the diagnosis of many other pigmented skin lesions, such as seborrheic keratosis, pigmented basal cell carcinoma, hemangioma, blue nevus, atypical nevus, and mole, which can often clinically simulate melanoma. In this article, dermoscopy is reviewed from its history to the basic concepts of the interpre… Show more

“…The trichoscope, despite its ease of handling, is not a mere magnifying glass but a more complex instrument, allowing the superimposition of the skin layers. This is entirely different from the image obtained in histopathology, where the visualization is total, with the possibility to observe any surface or deep skin layer [8]. Trichoscopy is useful for the diagnosis and follow-up of hair and scalp disorders.…”

“…3 In 1987, Pehamberger and colleagues 4 published the common dermatoscopic features of melanocytic and nonmelanocytic lesions, which has laid the foundation of diagnostic dermatoscopic methods. In 1989, Soyer and colleagues 5 correlated dermatoscopic structures to histopathologic structures, establishing dermatoscopy as a link between clinical and histopathologic views.…”
