Abstract: 【Abstract】 Cutaneous malignant melanoma (MM) is a kind of malignant tumor derived from melanocytes, with a high degree of malignancy, rapid progress and poor prognosis. Early diagnosis can greatly improve the survival rate of patients with MM. As a non-invasive examination method, dermoscopy can improve the accuracy of early diagnosis, reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and avoid blind biopsy. This consensus summarizes dermoscopic manifestations of different types of MM, and gives a brief overview of diseases that need differential diagnosis, in order to provide a basis for the early non-invasive diagnosis of MM.

Key words: Melanoma, Dermoscopy, Expert consensus
