Abstract: 【Abstract】 Dermoscopy, as a non-invasive auxiliary diagnostic technique, has been proven to effectively improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of various skin diseases, and has been widely studied and applied by Chinese and international dermatologists. For most skin diseases, histopathological examination is still the gold standard for diagnosis, and most of the features shown by dermoscopy are correlated with specific histopathological manifestations. These dermoscopic features can indicate histopathological changes of skin lesions to a certain extent, and further assist clinicians in distinguishing benign and malignant skin lesions, and guiding skin biopsy. This consensus elaborates common dermoscopic features of melanocytic neoplasmas and their correlations with histopathological features, aiming to improve Chinese dermatologists′ understanding and awareness.
