In the second video in a two-part series, Professor Giuseppe Argenziano continues his discussion of three rules for diagnosing pink tumours in primary care, with real patient examples from his own clinic.
As pink tumours are one of the most challenging lesions to diagnose clinically and dermoscopically, Prof Argenziano explains the characteristics of pink tumours and how they are differentiated from other malignancies, with a series of real patient cases seen in his own practice.
In this short video, Prof Argenziano's simple rules include:
- Combine clinical plus dermoscopy (covered in part 1)
- Look for the prevalent feature (continued from part 1)
- Never do follow-up
See all this and much more in the full video below!
