Dermoscopy for pink lesions

Dermoscopy for pink lesions

Dermoscopy for Pink Lesions is an advanced dermatology course designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy for non-pigmented skin tumours. This comprehensive program focuses on identifying melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions using dermoscopic vascular patterns, specific arrangements, and clinical clues. Participants will explore a structured four-step approach to analysing pink lesions, supported by practical insights and management rules to avoid missing amelanotic melanoma. This course is ideal for healthcare professionals seeking to refine their dermoscopic skills in assessing challenging skin lesions.

The Dermoscopy for Pink Lesions course equips healthcare professionals with specialised knowledge and practical techniques to diagnose and manage non-pigmented skin tumours effectively. The single-unit program delivers a systematic approach to analysing vascular patterns and clinical presentations of pink lesions.

The course provides an in-depth exploration of the dermoscopic examination of pink lesions, focusing on melanocytic and non-melanocytic tumours. Participants will learn a structured methodology to improve diagnostic confidence.
Key topics include:
- General Principles of Examining Pink Lesions:
- Differentiating inflammatory from tumoral lesions through clinical examination.
- The importance of vessel morphology, arrangement, and associated clues.
- Four-Step Approach to Pink Lesion Analysis:
- Clinical evaluation to distinguish between tumour types.
- Assessment of vascular patterns, including comma, dotted, hairpin, and arborizing vessels.
- Arrangement patterns: regular, radial, clustered, or polymorphic.
- Dermoscopic patterns for specific tumours.
- Dermoscopy Patterns for Specific Tumours:
- Melanocytic tumours (e.g., melanoma, Spitz nevi) with vascular polymorphism and pigmentation clues.
- Non-melanocytic tumours, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sebaceous hyperplasia, and Bowen's disease.
- Management Rules for Pink Lesions:
- Recognising high-risk features such as residual pigmentation, ulceration, and polymorphic vessels.
- Guidelines for excision to avoid misdiagnosing malignant lesions.
- Role of polarised dermoscopy in detecting subtle malignancy indicators like chrysalis structures.

Through interactive case discussions and dermoscopic imagery, participants will gain practical skills for identifying benign and malignant lesions confidently.

This course is essential for practitioners looking to enhance their proficiency in dermoscopy, particularly for challenging pink lesions, ensuring better patient outcomes through accurate diagnosis and effective management.

  1. Evaluate pink lesions including melanocytic and non-melanocytic tumours based on the recognition of specific vascular structures, their arrangement and specific clues.
  2. Apply management rules of pink lesions to avoid missing amelanotic melanoma.
