Abstract
To avoid missing melanoma, the current practice is to biopsy all suggestive skin lesions. Although most cases of melanoma exhibit clinical clues leading to the correct diagnosis, melanoma can mimic benign lesions. Dermoscopy has been shown to increase the diagnostic accuracy of clinically equivocal lesions, but little is known about its ability to detect melanoma in the context of lesions that appear clinically benign.File in questo prodotto:
