DERMATOSCOPY AS PART OF COMPREHENSIVE PRE-OPERATIVE DIAGNOSTICS OF PIGMENTAL SKIN NEOPLASMS
Abstract
The authors describe their experience of pre-operative diagnostics of pigmentary skin neoplasms using epiluminescence microscopy. The correct pre-operative diagnosis was made
in 100% of cases (35 observations: 5 melanoma cases, 30 nevus
cases). Dermatoscopy as part of comprehensive examination of
patients is a reliable method of differential diagnostics of melanoma and pigmentary benign neoplasms of skin.
