Editorial: Dermoscopy: new dimensions beyond pigmentary lesions

Dermoscopy (also known as dermatoscopy, epiluminescence microscopy, amplified surface microscopy, and surface diascopy) is a noninvasive examination technique of evaluation of the colors and microstructures of the epidermis, dermo-epidermal junction, and papillary dermis not visible to the naked eye; hence, enhancing the diagnostic accuracy. It is primarily used to judge pigmented and nonpigmented skin tumors more exactly, whether or not the lesion should be biopsied.
