Learning Objectives:
Following this course, the attendee should be able to:
- Recognize and interpret the most important dermoscopic criteria and patterns
- Use a practical approach to differentiate between benign and malignant melanocytic lesions
- Introduce dermoscopy as a useful tool in daily clinical practice
Description:
The course will provide a comprehensive, clinically oriented approach to the use of dermoscopy for the diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions. The first section will cover the basic dermoscopic features and patterns observed in melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions. Emphasis will be given in lesions of facial and acral sites as well as in less-pigmented lesions. The role of digital dermoscopy for the surveillance of atypical lesions will be also discussed. In the second section of the course, a wide array of interesting cases will be presented by internationally renowned experts. Attendees will then test their knowledge with a-self-assessment slide presentation.
