Sažetak

Dermoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic
technique in dermatovenereology that includes the inspection
of the lesion with a handheld dermoscope, stereomicroscope,
camera or digital imaging system. Dermoscopy enables the
evaluation of the specifi c morphological structures of the skin
that are not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, it links clinical
dermatology and dermatopathology. The major goal is to
differentiate pigmented lesions into melanocytic and nonmelanocytic
lesions, and make further differentiations within each
group. Furthermore, it is essential to distinguish melanoma
from other melanocytic and nonmelanocytic skin lesions, and
to diagnose melanoma and amelanotic melanoma in their early
stages. Dermoscopic follow up includes long-term and shortterm
monitoring, and is an essential diagnostic technique in the
management of pigmented skin lesions.
