ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Dermoscopic features of nonpigmented skin lesions are seldom reported; dermoscopy might be useful in speculating pathologic features in the upper dermis.OBJECTIVE:
The objective was to identify additional dermoscopic criteria.METHODS:
Dermoscopy of the mucinous carcinoma of the skin occurring on the cheek of a 69-year-old man was performed.RESULTS:
We have shown characteristic dermoscopic features of whitish network and light-brown globules and they correspond to the pathologic findings of fibrous septum and mucinous deposition, respectively.DISCUSSION:
Dermoscopic examination seemed useful as an adjunct to the diagnosis of this rare nonpigmented malignant neoplasm.
