Differentiating seborrheic keratosis from melanoma among lesions exhibiting blue-white veil: A retrospective study.
J Am Acad Dermatol

Dermatology Service, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York. Electronic address:
Background: Differentiating melanoma (MM) from seborrheic keratosis (SK) containing a blue-white veil (BWV) remains challenging.
Objective: Identify dermoscopic features that can improve upon the differentiation between MMs and SKs exhibiting BWV.
Methods: Images from 110 MMs and 121 SKs containing BWV were aggregated, and 91 MMs and 62 SKs from this data set had complete agreement on the presence of BWV according to 3 expert dermoscopists.
Trichoscopy of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus in Caucasian Scalp: A Review.
Skin Appendage Disord

Dermatology Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Scalp discoid lupus erythematosus is a rare condition among Caucasians, with varying clinical signs, and its dermoscopic features are not well documented, especially in this demographic.
- A review was conducted to analyze existing literature by examining dermoscopic patterns like follicular openings and vessel patterns in affected individuals.
- Key findings revealed that chronic lesions displayed specific characteristics such as a lack of follicular openings, white or red patches, and thick arborizing vessels, along with the presence of yellow-brown and red dots.
Clinical and Dermoscopic Patterns of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Its Mimickers in Skin of Color: A Practical Summary.
Medicina (Kaunas)
August 2024
Institute of Dermatology, Department of Medical Area, University of Udine, 33100 Udine, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in individuals with darker skin tones (dark phototypes IV-VI) is difficult due to varied presentations and fewer identifiable clues; dermoscopy can aid in identifying BCC in these patients.
- This review provides a comparison of BCC's clinical and dermoscopic patterns in people of color to those in lighter-skinned individuals, identifying common mimickers like squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
- Key dermoscopic features of BCC in darker skin include blue, black, and gray dots, with arborizing vessels being the primary indicator, while unique conditions in darker skin such as dermatosis papulosa nigra are also considered in differential diagnosis.
