Dermoscopy Basics
SLIDE 17
Is it melanocytic or not?
FIRST STEP
SLIDE 18
composed of 3 basic structures
- Pigment Network
- Dots and Globules
- Streaks
- Amorphous Areas
- Blue Areas
FIRST STEP
SLIDE 19
- A delicate regular grid of brownish
lines over a light brown background
- Correlates to rete ridges (pigment)
and dermal papillae
- A pigment network is the hallmark
- f a melanocytic lesion
