Abstract: 【Abstract】 Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is one of the most common neoplasms in dermatology, with specific clinical and pathological manifestations. Dermoscopy has been increasingly applied to the diagnosis of BCC. However, there are various diagnostic criteria for various types of BCC, and there is still no unified standard and consensus in China. This consensus is written by some Chinese experts in dermoscopy according to domestic and overseas related research findings, which summarizes dermoscopic patterns and characteristic dermoscopic vascular structures of BCC, and describes dermoscopic features of various types of BCC. The consensus on dermoscopic characteristics of BCC is aiming to unify the dermoscopic criteria for the diagnosis of BCC and provide diagnostic ideas for clinicians.
