ABSTRACT

Dermoscopy (dermatoscopy, epiluminescence microscopy, surface microscopy) is an auxiliary diagnostic method in dermatology. This method allows to properly visualizing the morphological structures present in pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions which are not identified with the naked eye. This method can diagnose pigmented and non-pigmented skin tumours with a clear higher sensitivity and specificity compared to clinical examination. Malignant skin tumours are earlier detected 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.
