Dermoscopic Structures: Histopathology Correlations (Non-Melanocytic)
Presented by Ashfaq Marghoob, MD
Ashfaq A. Marghoob reviews dermoscopy–histopathology correlations for non‑melanocytic tumors. He links common structures to tissue compartments, clarifies keratinocytic patterns, and contrasts BCC subtypes. Emphasis is on practical pattern recognition, vessel‑guided diagnosis in pink lesions, and when discordant features should trigger biopsy.

Learning objectives
After completing this module, you should be able to:
- Identify the features associated with melanocytic and non-melanocytic malignancies and identify the features to help differentiate them from benign lesions.
- Outline a management approach for lesions, based on their clinical and dermoscopic morphology.
- Summarize the pivotal role of Dermoscopy as the gateway not only into improved diagnostic accuracy but also improvements in management, treatment, and appropriate use of ancillary tests/devices such as digital monitoring, reflectance confocal microscopy, and gene expression profiling.
