Dermoscopy key points: recommendations from the international dermoscopy society.
نویسندگان
چکیده
these key points have been previously published; however, some are based on clinicians’ personal intuition and lack any good scientific data at present. In the future, through ongoing research in dermoscopy by clinicians both locally and through the International Dermoscopy Society, the list of key points will undoubtedly evolve as more scientific data becomes available. Until then this article aims to reflect a number of principles that are common to dermoscopy as we understand at this point in time. Disclaimer: Adherence to these recommendations will not ensure successful diagnosis and treatment in every situation. Furthermore, the ultimate judgment regarding the property of any specific procedure must be made by the physician in light of all the circumstances presented by the individual patient.
