Dermatoscopy: A multicolored lesion on the forehead—Quiz Answer
نویسنده
چکیده
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequent type of skin cancer in humans. Non-pigmented BCCs are much more prevalent than pigmented BCCs. Sometimes it could be difficult to distinguish a pigmented BCC from a melanoma [1]. Menzies et al. suggested a dermatoscopic method with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 89% for diagnosing pigmented BCCs (See Table) [2,3]. The correct answer to the Dermatoscopy quiz in the April 2014 issue (http://dx.doi.org/10.5826/dpc.0403a14) is pigmented basal cell carcinoma Congratulations to Dr. Urmi Khanna, who was the first to send us the correct answer!
