Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, widely used diagnostic tool that aids the
diagnosis of skin lesions and is proven to increase the accuracy of melanoma
diagnosis. This book is a concise guide to dermoscopy for clinicians. Beginning
with an overview of dermoscopy techniques the next chapter discusses the
correlation between dermoscopic structures and histopathology. The following
sections cover structures and patterns of lesions, neoplasms and melanomas found
in different anatomical sites, including facial skin, palms and soles, nails,
and mucosal surfaces. Infestations, inflammatory diseases and hair disorders are
also discussed. The final chapters cover the Triage Amalgamated Dermoscopy
Algorithm (TADA), and provide flow charts for easy reference. Edited by
