Description	This chapter describes the histopathological correlation of the dermoscopyThe examination of [skin lesions] with a 'dermatoscope'. This traditionally consists of a magnifier (typically x10), a non-polarised light source, a transparent plate and a liquid medium between the instrument and the skin, and allows inspection of skin lesions unobstructed by skin surface reflections. Modern dermatoscopes dispense with the use of liquid medium and instead use polarised light to cancel out skin surface reflections. term radial streamingRadial linear extensions at the lesion edge (streakslines radial (always at periphery) streaks Reed nevus melanoma recurrent nevus)
