  • Title: Dermoscopic-pathologic correlation: apropos of six equivocal cases.
    Author: Ferrara G, Argenziano G, Giorgio CM, Zalaudek I, Kittler H.
    Journal: Semin Cutan Med Surg; 2009 Sep; 28(3):157-64. PubMed ID: 19782939.
    Abstract:
    The increasing use of dermoscopy in preoperative diagnosis of melanocytic skin neoplasms is impacting on routine histopathology to a relevant extent. We herein present the dermoscopic-pathologic features of 6 cases of histopathologically controversial melanocytic skin neoplasms. By illustrating these cases, we emphasize at least 3 different fields of interest for a combined (clinico-)dermoscopic-pathologic diagnostic approach, namely, information about the evolution of lesions; detection of gross sampling errors; definition of peculiar clinicopathologic entities. The theoretic and practical aspects of a close interaction among dermoscopists and histopathologists are itemized in detail.
