| Article of the Month 01 Importance of including Skin of Color | 01 | Dermoscopy of Skin of Color | Individuals with skin of color (SOC) are defined by the Skin of Color Society as those individuals of Hispanic/Latino, Asian, African, Native American, Pacific Island descent, and mixtures thereof. All too often skin cancers are detected late in persons of skin of color due to many factors including health inequity, poverty, lack of access to education and healthcare. | BCC pigmented nodular AAW nose dms-001.jpg | |
| Article of the Month 02 Basic nail dermoscopy criteria | 02 | Basic nail dermoscopy criteria | Dermoscopy has been used for many years in the differential diagnosis of pigmented skin tumors and has been proven superior to naked-eye examination in the differential diagnosis of melanoma on the skin. | 3241d.JPG.jpg | |
| Article of the Month 03 Basal cell carcinoma | 03 | Basal cell carcinoma | Basal Cell carcinoma | This article reviews the dermoscopy of basal cell carcinoma and its subtypes such as superficial BCC, morpheiform BCC, nodular BCC and fibroepithelioma of Pinkus. | BCC AAM9596.jpg |
| Article of the Month 04 Two-step algorithm | 04 | Two-step algorithm | The top-down 2-step pattern analysis approach builds upon the previous classic and revised 2-step approaches by eliminating the requirement to differentiate melanocytic from non-melanocytic lesions in step | Two-step algorighm - cover.png | |
| Article of the Month 05 Dermoscopic structures and their histopathological correlation | 05 | Dermoscopic structures and their histopathological correlation | Dermoscopy can help identify different subtypes of skin cancers, which can have important therapeutic implications. For example, dermoscopic structures more frequently associated with non-superficial, mostly nodular BCC, are blue-ovoid nests, arborizing vessels, and ulceration, and warrant surgical excision. | Histology network.jpg | |
| Article of the Month 06 04-BCC | 06 | BCC | Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer in the world. Although mortality related to BCC is negligible, BCCs can be associated with significant morbidity, especially if left untreated and/or if discovered when they have attained relatively large diameters. Clinically, BCC can present with a variety of morphologies ranging from erythematous patches to ulcerated nodules. There are multiple histopathologic subtypes of BCC including superficial, nodular, morpheaform/sclerosing/infiltrative, fibroepithelioma of Pinkus, microcytic adnexal and baso-squamous cell BCC. Each subtype can be pigmented or non-pigmented [1]. | BCC AAM9596.jpg |
