Abstract:
Several conventional and new dermoscopic criteria are highly specific for diagnosing early melanomas. Until the reliability of the dermoscopic scoring systems has been validated, the presence of any combination of these specific features should elevate the index of suspicion for melanoma and prompt a biopsy to avoid missing this cancer.
