Abstract
Dermoscopy is a widely used technique whose role in the clinical (and preoperative) diagnosis of melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin lesions has been well established in recent years. The aim of this paper is to clarify the correlations between the "local" dermoscopic findings in melanoma and the underlying histology, in order to help clinicians in routine practice.

The dermatoscope has currently become a primary tool for dermatologists, because it allows a rapid in vivo evaluation of structures of the epidermis and dermis which are not visible to the naked eye
Given that many dermoscopic structures have been correlated with the underlying histopathological alterations, dermoscopy has been regarded as a bridge between clinical and histopathological examination.[1]
