MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study included 142 lesions of 72 patients, aged 26-79, who were admitted to the dermatology department of Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital between 2014-2018 and diagnosed clinically and / or histopathologically (for atypical lesions) as dermatofibroma. Clinical data were recorded for each patient, including age and sex, location of the lesion, and size of the lesion. This study includes three stages including dermatological and dermoscopic examination of lesions, macroscopic and dermoscopic (Dermlite II hybrid M Pocket Epiluminescence Device, Molemax 3 Digital Image Capture) photographing and evaluation of the findings. Macroscopic and dermoscopic pictures of all lesions in the study were taken and data were recorded. Structures classified as vascular and nonvascular were defined dermoscopically. In order to increase the image quality and the visibility of the structures, the contact plate was wetted with saline before dermoscopic pictures were taken. The pressure on the lesion was relieved to prevent collapse of the vascular structures. All datas were uploaded to SPSS 17.0 for Windows statistic application software.
