Review of dermoscopic features for non-pigmented skin lesions, including amelanotic melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, with emphasis on vascular patterns.

Abstract

In this article, we will review benchmark dermoscopic features of non-pigmented skin lesions used in the diagnosis of amelanotic melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and other non-pigmented lesions, described in previous literature. We will also evaluate the six common vascular patterns observed via dermoscopy, while discussing the relevant associations.
