Correlation between clinical-dermatoscopic and histopathologic diagnosis of skin tumors in our patients

In this study 103 patients with skin tumors were examined. Among them there were 43 (42%) male patients and 60 (58%) female patients. Working diagnosis was obtained by clinical examination using dermoscope. After excision of lesion, working diagnosis was compared to pathohistological diagnosis. In our study we used dermoscope Heine proper delta 10. The clinical-dermoscopic diagnosis included verrucae seborrhoicae in 26 (25.24%), fibropapilloma in 17(16.5%), naevus pigmentosus in 9 (8.79%), naevus dysplasticus in 4 (3.88%), fibroma molle in 8 (7.76%), Mb. Bowen in 1 (0.97%), basal cell carcinoma in 7 (6.79%), squamous cell carcinoma in 6 (5.82%), haemangiofibroma in 1 (0.97%), haemangioma in 3 (2.91%), keratosis actinica in 5 (4.85%), melanoma malignum in 6 (5.82%), naevus fibromatosus in 2 (1.94%) cases and naevus blue in 1 (0.97%), naevus traumatisatus in 1 (0.97%), verruca vulgaris in 1 (0.97%), lymphocytoma in 1 (0.97%), naevus verrucosus in 1 (0.97%), lentigo solaris in 2 (1.94%) and Reed nevus in 1 (0.97%) case. Dermoscopic diagnosis were conformable with pathohistological diagnosis in 75 cases (72.82%). We presumed that dermatoscoping obtains correct diagnosis of skin tumors.
