Dermatoscopy is an important diagnostic tool in dermatology. The aim of this study was to identify correlations between reflected-light microscopy findings and histological findings in relation to the new 2009 AJCC classification. It was demonstrated that specific dermatoscopic patterns correlate very well with histological findings. Dermatoscopy therefore not only offers the possibility of an accurate diagnosis, but also allows initial prognostic assessments to be made.
