Clinically atypical spitzoid lesions: semi‐quantitative histologic index correlation with dermoscopic scores (ABCD rule, 7‐point checklist and pattern analysis)

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first report in which a semi-quantitative histologic score is compared to different dermoscopic scores in clinically atypical spitzoid lesions. This score can be used to correlate in an objective way the entire histologic picture with the standardized dermoscopic scores. In our series we found a higher HI for those spitzoid lesions with multicomponent pattern.
