ABSTRACT

Dermoscopy has increased the ability to distinguish between benign and malignant melanocytic lesions. Based on observed features, a new classification divides melanocytic nevi into four categories: reticular, globular, “starburst” and homogeneous blue.
This paper discusses the dermoscopic criteria for the diagnosis of melanocytic lesion and cutaneous melanoma, providing evidence of the usefulness of dermoscopy in the early diagnosis of the latter.
