Background:
In this study, cases with suspected urethral condylomata acuminata were examined by dermoscopy, in order to explore an effective method for clinical.
Objective:
To study the application of dermoscopy image analysis technique in clinical diagnosis of urethral condylomata acuminata.
Methods:
A total of 220 suspected urethral condylomata acuminata were clinically diagnosed first with the naked eyes, and then by using dermoscopy image analysis technique. Afterwards, a comparative analysis was made for the two diagnostic methods.
Results:
Among the 220 suspected urethral condylomata acuminata, there was a higher positive rate by dermoscopy examination than visual observation.
Study Limitations:
Dermoscopy examination technique is still restricted by its inapplicability in deep urethral orifice and skin wrinkles, and concordance between different clinicians may also vary.
Conclusion:
Dermoscopy image analysis technique features a high sensitivity, quick and accurate diagnosis and is non-invasive, and we recommend its use.
