ABSTRACT

Dermoscopy is an in vivo, non-invasive, easy-to-use diagnostic technique that has become very useful in everyday practice for the differential diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions. Depending on the type of lesion and the dermatologist’s experience with this technique, diagnostic accuracy may increased up to 30%.
