Compares diagnosis accuracy of malignant skin neoplasms using clinical evaluation and dermoscopy, suggesting enhanced detection with dermoscopy.
BACKGROUND/AIM: , clinical evaluation and dermoscopy in the detection of malignant skin neoplasms (MSNs). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between December 2021 and August 2025, 161 skin lesions from 142 patients were analyzed, comparing clinical evaluation (51 cases) with clinical evaluation with dermoscopy (110 cases) for the diagnosis of MSNs, including malignant melanomas of the skin (MMs) and non-melanoma malignant skin neoplasms (NMMSNs). RESULTS: =0.481), respectively. CONCLUSION: The sensitivity, specificity, DOR, and RDOR increased with the use of dermoscopy in MSNs diagnosis, mainly in MMs cases. However, the advantage of dermoscopy was not as significant in NMMSNs cases.
