Biópsia cutânea de lesão pigmentada guiada pela dermatoscopia - Relato de caso

Abstract

It may be clinically difficult to differentiate early-stage melanoma from benign tumors, specially pigmented seborrheic keratosis. Dermoscopy can help; however, the findings are not always conclusive. Therefore, histopathology may be necessary for a correct diagnosis. We describe a melanocytic lesion with dubious clinic and dermoscopic findings. An incisional biopsy of a suspicious area, guided by dermoscopy, was performed to clarify the findings. © 2013 by Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia.
