Summary: Pigmented skin lesions are sometimes misdiagnosed due to clinical similarities between melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions. We report the case of a patient with a pigmented lesion that clinically resembles melanoma. With dermoscopy, observed features, namely leaf-like areas, allowed us to make the diagnosis of pigmented basal cell carcinoma. This case represents a clinical setting in which clinical examination alone could lead to a misdiagnosis, but with the use of dermoscopy an accurate diagnosis was possible.

Relatamos o caso de um doente com uma lesão pigmentada, clinicamente sugestiva de melanoma. Quando analisada com dermatoscopia, é possível observar características, nomeadamente áreas “leaf-like”, que nos permitem fazer o diagnóstico de carcinoma basocelular pigmentado. Este caso representa uma situação clínica em que o exame clinico isoladamente pode levar a um diagnóstico incorreto, mas que com o apoio da dermatoscopia foi feito corretamente.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2015-07-01T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.73.2.373oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/373Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 73 No 2 (2015): Abril / Junho; 259-261Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 73 n. 2 (2015): Abril / Junho; 259-2612182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/373https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.73.2.373https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/373/341Mota, F.Lobo, I.Mahia, Y.Costa, V.Selores, M.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:34:53Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/373Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:31:06.209841Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
