Dermatoscopy is the surface skin microscope which allows ascertaining whether pigmented lesions (moles) are malignant or benign. Early diagnosis of possible malignant alterations in moles is possible thanks to dermatoscope. It is performed on any patient who has applied to our department for moles.
