Dermoscopy has its usefulness well established in the diagnostic evaluation of melanocytic lesions. Recently, however, it has also shown to be an important tool in monitoring therapeutic response to various dermatoses. We report the case of an elderly patient diagnosed with lentigo maligna of difficult surgical management, which we have chosen to treat with topical imiquimod. The dermoscopic monitoring of this alternative therapy has shown to be of great usefulness.
皮肤镜在黑素细胞性病变的诊断评估中已确立了其有用性。然而，最近它也被证明是监测各种皮肤病治疗反应的重要工具。我们报告了一例诊断为手术治疗困难的恶性雀斑样痣的老年患者，我们选择用咪喹莫特局部治疗。对这种替代疗法的皮肤镜监测已证明非常有用。
