ABSTRACT

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that allows a better visualization of structures within the epidermis and dermis. The two-step algorithm is a widely accepted procedure that allows the classification of the cutaneous lesions by identifying the specific criteria and patterns associated with melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions. The usefulness of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of melanoma is unquestionable and has been demonstrated in three published meta-analysis. Dermoscopy has also proved to be a useful in the diagnosis of non-melanocytic lesions as well. The present revision defines the dermoscopic structures and patterns characteristic of the most common non-melanocytic lesions (basal cell carcinoma, seborrheic keratosis, vascular lesions and dermatofibroma), which are normally included in the differential diagnosis of melanoma.
