    Background: Limited data on dermatoscopy of nodular/plaque-type T-/B-cell primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs) is available. Objective: To describe dermatoscopic features of nodular/plaque-type PCLs, comparing them with those of clinical mimickers (pseudolymphomas, tumors, and inflammatory lesions) and investigating possible differences according to histologic subtypes. Methods: Participants were invited to join this retrospective, multicenter case-control study by submitting histologically/immunohistochemically confirmed instances of nodular/plaque-type PCLs and controls. Standardized assessments of the dermatoscopic images and comparative analyses were performed. Results: A total of 261 lesions were included (121 PCLs and 140 controls). Orange structureless areas were the strongest PCL dermatoscopic predictor on multivariate analysis compared with tumors and non infiltrative inflammatory dermatoses. On the other hand, a positive association was found between PCLs and either unfocused linear vessels with branches or focal white structureless areas compared with infiltrative inflammatory dermatoses, whereas white lines were predictive of PCLs over pseudolymphomas. Differences in the vascular pattern were also seen between B-and T-cell PCLs and among B-cell PCL subtypes. Limitations: Retrospective design and the lack of a dermatoscopic-pathologic correlation analysis. Conclusion: Nodular/plaque-type PCLs display dermatoscopic clues, which may partially vary according to histologic subtype and whose diagnostic relevance depends on the considered clinical differential diagnoses.

    High accuracy of recognition of common forms of folliculitis by dermoscopy: An observational study
    (2019) Durdu, Murat; Errichetti, Enzo; Eskiocak, Ali Haydar; Ilkit, Macit; 0000-0003-1247-3932; 30914342; H-9068-2019
    Background: Clinical differentiation of folliculitis types is challenging. Dermoscopy supports the recognition of folliculitis etiology, but its diagnostic accuracy is not known. Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of dermoscopy for folliculitis. Methods: This observational study included patients (N = 240) with folliculitis determined on the basis of clinical and dermoscopic assessments. A dermoscopic image of the most representative lesion was acquired for each patient. Etiology was determined on the basis of cytologic examination, culture, histologic examination, or manual hair removal (when ingrowing hair was detected) by dermatologist A. Dermoscopic images were evaluated according to predefined diagnostic criteria by dermatologist B, who was blinded to the clinical findings. Dermoscopic and definitive diagnoses were compared by dermatologist C. Results: Of the 240 folliculitis lesions examined, 90% were infections and 10% were noninfectious. Infectious folliculitis was caused by parasites (n = 71), fungi (n = 81), bacteria (n = 57), or 7 viruses (n = 7). Noninfectious folliculitis included pseudofolliculitis (n = 14), folliculitis decalvans (n = 7), and eosinophilic folliculitis (n = 3). The overall accuracy of dermoscopy was 73.7%. Dermoscopy showed good diagnostic accuracy for Demodex (88.1%), scabietic (89.7%), and dermatophytic folliculitis (100%), as well as for pseudofolliculitis (92.8%). Limitations: The diagnostic value of dermoscopy was calculated only for common folliculitis. Diagnostic reliability could not be calculated. Conclusion: Dermoscopy is a useful tool for assisting in the diagnosis of some forms of folliculitis.
