Cutaneous melanoma: digital dermoscopy -essential tool for positive diagnosis
Cutaneous melanoma is a "perfid", aggressive and hard to be treated malignant tumor in case of delayed diagnosis. However, patients still have a chance to escape progressive disease if the lesion is recognized early, when the surgical approach is curative. Dermoscopy has the important advantage of rapidity and non-invasivity in a field with (still) contradictory algorithms of diagnosis and trea...
متن کاملDermoscopy rainbow pattern as a diagnostic clue for early angiosarcoma
Angiosarcomas of the scalp are aggressive invasive tumors that, more often than not, mimic benign painless skin lesions. We here report a case of angiosarcoma that was timely diagnosed and treated thanks to the dermoscopic rainbow pattern.
متن کاملVitamin D Deficiency at Melanoma Diagnosis Is Associated with Higher Breslow Thickness
BACKGROUND Epidemiological evidence shows that people with thicker, or higher stage, melanomas have lower vitamin D status compared to those with thinner tumours. Evidence from experimental studies is inconsistent, but some suggest that administration of vitamin D metabolites can decrease tumour aggressiveness. OBJECTIVES Determine the relationship between vitamin D status at diagnosis and me...
متن کاملDermoscopy for melanoma detection in family practice.
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of dermoscopy for melanoma detection in family practice. QUALITY OF EVIDENCE Ovid MEDLINE (1946 to June 2011), EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane databases were searched using the following terms: dermoscopy, dermatoscopy, epiluminescence microscopy, family practice, general practice, primary health care, melanoma, skin neoplasms, and...
متن کاملDermoscopy and Early Melanoma.
The lack of effective therapies for patients with advanced melanoma establishes an early recognition as the aim of clinical and dermoscopic examination, which is the most important factor for improving patient survival and decreases the treatment and management costs. Melanoma in situ is the earliest stage of melanoma. The features of early melanomas, especially in those lesions smaller than 3m...
