F056 Dermoscopy for the Non-dermoscopist
DESCRIPTION
Novice dermoscopists will be taught recognizable dermoscopic patterns to assist in the diagnosis of pigmented lesions. We will discuss a simple pattern recognition system that can be incorporated into routine dermatologic practice. The session will also include dermoscopy of special sites, including the face and acral surfaces. Participants will be shown unknown cases throughout the session for self-assessment and the approach to diagnosis of these cases will be reviewed. By incorporating dermoscopy into everyday practice, participants will be able to improve their diagnostic accuracy in detecting melanoma and other skin cancers.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Recognize characteristic dermoscopic structures of benign and malignant lesions.
Use dermoscopy to distinguish benign from suspicious lesions that require biopsy.
