Digitally reconstructed top‐down view images provides intuitive understanding of correlation between dermoscopy and histopathology: A good educational tool

Abstract

Dermoscopy is an optical technique, which enables us to observe the fine structures especially in melanocytic skin lesions. In the dermoscopic structures of melanocytic lesions, including nevocellular nevus and melanoma, 1) pigment network, 2) dots and globules, and 3) streaks are main components. The irregularity of these structures helps us differentiate benign nevi from malignant melanoma.
