Abstract
Sir, Dermatoscope is considered a vital tool in the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), helping in the early diagnosis and differentiating from other clinical mimics. Dermatoscopy of nodular BCC shows arborizing vessels, ulceration, large blue-gray ovoid nests, and multiple blue-gray globules, whereas superficial BCC shows brown pigmented structures including concentric structures, leaf-like areas, spoke wheel areas, erosions, and superficial fine telangiectasia.[1]
