Overview

Dermatoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic method used in dermatology to examine pigmented skin lesions in vivo. Its aim is to improve the quality of the differential diagnosis and to lower the number of unnecessary surgical interventions. One possibility of the practical use of dermatoscopy is to differentiate melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions. Authors point out often examined non-melanocyte lesions in melanoma differential diagnosis. On the basis of their own experience they give an overview of common and rare dermatoscopic findings in particular diagnoses (seborrhoeic wart, pigmented basalioma, vascular and haemorrhagic skin lesions, histiocytoma) including picture documentation obtained by digital dermatoscopy.

Key words:
dermatoscopy – seborrhoeic wart – basalioma – vascular and haemorrhagic lesions
