“…10 Several studies have been performed to test the reliability of dermoscopy in the differentiation of melanoma from benign pigmented lesions. [11][12][13][14][15] More recently, several research groups have reported specific criteria for diagnosing melanoma in the context of various anatomic locations such as the acral and facial areas. 16,17 To name but a few examples, it was established that rhomboidal structures and a parallel-ridge pattern are the most important dermoscopic criteria for diagnosing lentigo maligna of the face and acral melanoma in situ, respectively.…”

“…Melanositik lezyonların değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan çok sayıda algoritma olmasına rağmen ABCD kuralı, 7 nokta kontrol listesi, patern analizi, Menzies metodu ve "color, architecture, symmetry, and homogeneity" algoritması bu yöntemler arasında öne çıkmaktadır [80][81][82][83][84] . …”

Scoring systems have been developed to interpret the disease severity objectively by evaluating the parameters of the disease. Body surface area, visual analogue scale, and physician global assessment are the most frequently used scoring systems for evaluating the clinical severity of the dermatological diseases. Apart from these scoring systems, many specific scoring systems for many dermatological diseases, including acne (acne vulgaris, acne scars), alopecia (androgenetic alopecia, tractional alopecia), bullous diseases (autoimmune bullous diseases, toxic epidermal necrolysis), dermatitis (atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema), hidradenitis suppurativa, hirsutismus, connective tissue diseases (dermatomyositis, skin involvement of systemic lupus erythematosus (LE), discoid LE, scleroderma), lichen planoplaris, mastocytosis, melanocytic lesions, melasma, onychomycosis, oral lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatic arthritis, nail psoriasis), sarcoidosis, urticaria, and vitiligo, have also been developed. Disease severity scoring methods are ever more extensively used in the field of dermatology for clinical practice to form an opinion about the prognosis by determining the disease severity; to decide on the most suitable treatment modality for the patient; to evaluate the efficacy of the applied medication; and to compare the efficiency of different treatment methods in clinical studies. Keywords: Disease severity, scoring system, dermatology Skorlama sistemleri, hastalığa ait parametrelerin değerlendirilerek hastanın klinik şiddetini objektif olarak saptama amacıyla geliştirilmiş olan ölçeklerdir. Vücut yüzey alanı, görsel analog skala ve doktor global değerlendirme skoru dermatolojik hastalıkların klinik şiddetinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla en sık kullanılan genel skorlama sistemleridir. Bu skorlama sistemleri dışında akne (akne vulgaris, akne skarları), alopesi (androgenetik alopesi, traksiyonel alopesi), Behçet hastalığı, büllöz hastalıklar (otoimmün büllöz hastalıklar, toksik epidermal nekroliz, epidermolizis bülloza), dermatit (atopik dermatit, kontakt dermatit, dishidrotik egzama), hidradenitis suppurativa, hirsutismus, konnektif doku hastalıkları (dermatomyozit, sistemik lupus eritematozusun (LE) deri tutulumu, diskoid LE, skleroderma), liken planopilaris, mastositoz, melanositik lezyonlar-melanom, melazma, mikozis fungoides/Sezary sendromu, onikomikoz, oral liken planus, pitiriyazis rozea, psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatik artrit, tırnak psoriasisi), sarkoidoz, ürtiker ve anjiyoödem ve vitiligo gibi çok sayıda dermatolojik hastalık için spesifik skorlama sistemleri de geliştirilmiştir. Hastalık şiddet skorlama yöntemleri, dermatoloji alanında klinik pratikte hastalığın şiddetinin belirlenerek prognoz hakkında fikir sahibi olunabilmesi, hasta için uygun tedavinin belirlenmesi, uygulanan tedavinin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi, klinik araştırmalarda ise farklı tedavi yöntemlerinin etkinliklerinin karşılaştırılabilmesi gibi amaçlarla giderek d...

“…AMN with melanin pigment in the dermis, either in melanophages or pigmented melanocytes, will exhibit a blue hue when viewed dermoscopically [49]. A direct contrast must be made with the 'blue-white veil' that is associated with melanoma and consists of an irregular structureless area with blue pigment with an overlying 'ground glass' hazy appearance [50,51]. The faint blue hue noted within some melanocytic nevi may simulate the blue-white veil perceived in melanoma, and such lesions should be closely monitored or biopsied to definitively rule out malignancy.…”
