Dermoscopy and Histopathology Patterns in Pigmented Skin Lesions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study describes the characteristic dermoscopic features of pigmented skin lesions, including melanocytic and non-melanocytic types, seen at Sohag University Hospitals. It aims to correlate dermoscopic findings with clinical evaluations and available histopathology to improve diagnostic understanding. The project also evaluates how well dermoscopy distinguishes benign from malignant pigmented skin lesions. Participants include individuals with clinically diagnosed or suspected pigmented nevi, seborrheic keratosis, pigmented actinic keratosis, pigmented basal cell carcinoma, and suspected melanoma, across facial, acral, mucosal, and trunk sites. Exclusion criteria include poor-quality dermoscopic images and lesions where histopathology cannot be obtained.
