“…The dermoscopic features of a large number of non-melanocytic lesions have been reported which helps to reduce the differential diagnosis of solitary lesions [6]. The infiltrate of JXG occurs in the superficial dermis, an area where structures can be seen with dermoscopy.…”

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the commonest form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis and manifests as asymptomatic yellow-red papulonodules that usually occur in childhood and spontaneously regress within a year of formation. The diagnosis may be made by clinical examination alone and confirmed by histology in cases of diagnostic doubt. Here we report the use of dermoscopy in evaluating skin lesions suggestive of JXG. Three patients diagnosed as having JXG in our dermatology department over the last year showed a characteristic orange-yellow ‘setting sun’ appearance on dermoscopy. We therefore feel that the use of dermoscopy can be extended to include the examination of non-pigmented skin lesions, particularly in paediatric patients.

“…Dermoscopic examination of Kaposi’s sarcoma shows a thin pigmented network and in lesions with recent onset a homogeneous pinkish-red color; it has also been described as having a homogeneous architectural arrangement with structureless bluish-reddish areas [12, 14, 15]. In the dermoscopic examination of Kaposi’s sarcoma, red globules have never been reported.…”

We describe a 31-year-old woman with an asymptomatic solitary red plaque on the back which measured 2 × 1 cm. The patient reported that it had been growing for a few months. Upon dermoscopic examination, multiple well-demarcated red globules were seen. At the periphery a fine pigment network was present. The lesion was excised and examined histopathologically. The specimen showed proliferation of irregular branching venules with inconspicuous lumina. The tumor cells lacked cellular atypia. Microvenular hemangioma is a rare, slowly growing, benign vascular tumor. It usually presents on the trunk or the extremities of young to middle-aged adults. Microvenular hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor with distinct dermoscopic and histopathological features which enable it to be distinguished from other vascular neoplasms.

“…24 Dermoscopy appears to be a quick and efficient tool in the early detection of basal cell carcinomas in NBCCS. In the literature, there have been reports Figure 4; multiple large blue grey ovoid nests (blue arrows), an ulceration with a bloody crust (violet arrow), arborizing vessels (red arrows), white structureless areas showing dermal fibrosis (red stars).…”
