DERMATOSCOPY IN BASAL CELL CARCINOMA AND ITS HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CORRELATION

Introduction: Dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic method developed for the early detection of patterns, by visualizing their components they help determine certain characteristics compatible with malignant skin pathologies. This method has become an essential tool during the dermatological physical examination to make an early diagnosis of potentially malignant lesions and with this to provide timely therapy according to the degree of malignancy of the lesion. Basal cell carcinoma represents one of the pathologies most diagnosed with this method. It is one of the most common malignant skin tumors with an incidence of approximately 75%. Dermoscopic signs have been demonstrated histopathologically, which has increased the sensitivity and specificity of this method as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for malignant lesions.

Goal: To describe the dermatoscopic characteristics in the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma and its histopathological correlation. 

Methods: This is a non-experimental descriptive study, through an exhaustive search of scientific articles in digital repositories such as PUBMED, Google Scholar and Cochrane from the last 5 years.

Results: There are no significant differences regarding age, skin type or location, but there are changes in the size of the lesion and the time of evolution. Well, in the dermatoscopic findings, ovoid nests and arborizing vessels associated with the neoplastic process of the cells in the basement membrane of the skin were observed.

Conclusions: Despite being a non-invasive diagnostic tool, dermoscopy has a high sensitivity and specificity, since the patterns found in it represent the histopathological changes observed in a skin biopsy.

    Introduction: Dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic method developed for the early detection of patterns, through the visualization of its components, it helps to determine certain characteristics compatible with malignant skin pathologies. This method has become an essential tool during the dermatological physical examination to make an early diagnosis of potentially malignant lesions and thus be able to provide a timely treatment according to the degree of malignancy of the lesion. Basal cell carcinoma represents one of the most diagnosed pathologies with this method. It is one of the most common malignant skin tumors with an incidence of approximately 75%. The dermoscopic signs have been able to be demonstrated histopathologically, which has increased the sensitivity and specificity of this method as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for malignant lesions.

    Objectives: To describe the dermoscopic characteristics in the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma and its histopathological correlation.

    Methods: This is a non-experimental descriptive study, through an exhaustive search of scientific articles in digital repositories such as PUBMED, Google Escolar and Cochrane of the last 5 years.

    Results: There are no significant differences with regard to age, skin type or location, but there are changes in the size of the lesion and the time of evolution. Well, in the dermoscopic findings, ovoid nests and arborizing vessels were observed associated with the neoplastic process of cells in the basement membrane of the skin.

    Conclusions: Dermoscopy, despite being a non-invasive diagnostic tool, presents a high sensitivity and specificity, since the patterns found in it represent the histopathological changes observed in a skin biopsy.
