EDITOR'S SELECTION

In this issue, Sgouros et al performed a study on "Dermoscopy as a Tool in Differentiating Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma From Its Variants." They found that dermoscopy accurately differentiates Bowen disease, through clustered glomerular vessels, from keratoacanthoma and invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, dermoscopic structures of keratoacanthoma and invasive SCC overlap, and only histopathologic analysis differentiates them precisely.
