Dermatoscopy: Facts and controversies
Clin Dermatol.
2010 May-Jun.
Abstract
Especially notable in the past 10 years, dermatoscopy has gained attention for its proposed ability of increasing the agnostic accuracy of a variety of skin diseases, including melanoma. Despite the numerous publications applauding and promoting this relatively new diagnostic technique, the utility of dermatoscopy has yet to be fully validated. We present some of the leading arguments regarding dermatoscopy, with a particular focus on the applicability of dermatoscopy to the everyday practice of clinical dermatology.
