Written by five dermatologists with vast teaching experience, this book aims to take the mystery out of dermoscopy and make this technique accessible for all dermatologists, GPs and other medical clinicians responsible for diagnosing skin cancer.


This book clearly and concisely explains the principles of this revolutionary technique, how to perform a dermoscopy and how to interpret the results using checklists, algorithms, and brief test descriptions to convey the key messages.

Key authors include :
Peter Soyer, University of Graz, Austria
Guiseppe Argenziano, University Federico II of Naples, Naples, Italy

Contains over 375 colour dermoscopic images with clinical correlates.

Using the 7-point checklist one has to score the presence of 7 dermoscopic criteria, namely, atypical network, blue-white veil, atypical vascular pattern (so-called major criteria), and irregular streaks, irregular dots/globules, irregular pigmentation, and regression structures (blue, pepper-like granules and/or white, scar-like areas; so-called minor criteria).

When at least one major and one minor criteria (or 3 minor criteria) are present, the diagnosis of melanoma may be suspected and the lesion has to be removed.
