Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing acral melanocytic lesions, like acral nevi and melanoma, can be difficult, and the BRAAFF checklist was developed to assist in this process but hasn't been validated yet.
- In a study, varying experts diagnosed images of nevi and melanomas using the BRAAFF checklist online, yielding a sensitivity of 92.5% and a specificity of 65.0%, comparable to traditional pattern recognition.
- The checklist showed varying levels of agreement among raters based on experience, and a simplified version achieved similar sensitivity with slightly lower specificity, suggesting that the BRAAFF checklist is a helpful but not superior diagnostic tool.

Dermatological conditions often present diagnostic challenges due to their diverse manifestations and overlapping clinical features. In such cases, dermoscopy, a non-invasive imaging technique, has emerged as a valuable tool to enhance diagnostic accuracy and guide clinicians in reaching an appropriate differential diagnosis. By visualizing subsurface skin structures and microvascular patterns, dermoscopy provides additional information that complements clinical examination, aiding in the recognition of specific dermatoses and the differentiation between benign and malignant skin lesions.
