Dermoscopy pathology correlation in melanoma

J Dermatol. 2017 May;44(5):507-514. doi: 10.1111/1346-8138.13629.

Abstract

Dermoscopy is a widely used technique whose role in the clinical (and preoperative) diagnosis of melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin lesions has been well established in recent years. The aim of this paper is to clarify the correlations between the "local" dermoscopic findings in melanoma and the underlying histology, in order to help clinicians in routine practice.

Keywords: correlation; dermatoscopy; dermoscopy; melanoma; pathology.
