- Abstract:
- Dermoscopy (dermatoscopy, epiluminescence microscopy, surface microscopy) is a non-invasive method in dermatology. With this method pigmented and non-pigmented skin tumours can be diagnosed with a clear higher sensitivity and specificity compared to clinical examination. Malignant skin tumours are detected earlier and unnecessary excisions of benign skin tumours can be avoided. The knowledge about the correlation between dermoscopy and histopathology is hereby an essential condition. In this continuing medical education article the correlation of both examination techniques is presented for the dermoscopic differential diagnoses.
