Developmental defects in which dermatoscopy may be useful mainly include median raphe cyst (MRC) and aplasia cutis congenita (ACC). Dermatoscopy of MRC shows the presence of a homogeneous, white/yellowish pattern. Moreover, by revealing a translucent tract between two cysts, it may highlight the presence of a clinically undetected connection so to address to the final diagnosis of median raphe canal. Dermatoscopy of the classic, solitary ACC of the scalp reveals a central area of scarring alopecia with no follicular openings and some telangiectatic vessels. At the hair-bearing margin, horizontally and radially oriented hair bulbs are generally visible through a semitranslucent epidermis, configuring a starburst hair follicle pattern.

摘要

Developmental defects in which dermatoscopy may be useful mainly include median raphe cyst (MRC) and aplasia cutis congenita (ACC). Dermatoscopy of MRC shows the presence of a homogeneous, white/yellowish pattern. Moreover, by revealing a translucent tract between two cysts, it may highlight the presence of a clinically undetected connection so to address to the final diagnosis of median raphe canal. Dermatoscopy of the classic, solitary ACC of the scalp reveals a central area of scarring alopecia with no follicular openings and some telangiectatic vessels. At the hair-bearing margin, horizontally and radially oriented hair bulbs are generally visible through a semitranslucent epidermis, configuring a starburst hair follicle pattern.
