          Abstract

          RESUMEN Las lesiones cutáneas son uno de los principales motivos de consulta en Atención Primaria por su frecuencia y por la preocupación de las personas afectadas ante la posibilidad de que degeneren en lesiones malignas, con las implicaciones que ello tiene para la vida del paciente. La fotoexposición y los agentes externos a los que exponemos nuestra piel están relacionados con la aparición y los cambios de diferentes lesiones cutáneas. La dermatoscopia es de gran ayuda para el diagnóstico diferencial, aunque a veces nos presenta dudas por las que debemos ampliar el estudio. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 75 años que consulta por una lesión nodular excrecente con bordes eritematosos de casi 1 cm de diámetro sobre el dorso de la mano derecha de unas 3 semanas de evolución, con bordes erosionados y sangrado recurrente, que nos plantea como diagnóstico diferencial un granuloma piógeno frente a un melanoma amelanótico.

          ABSTRACT Skin lesions are one of the main reasons for primary care consultation, both because of their frequency and the possibility of degenerating into malignant lesions with the implications on the patient's life. Photoexposure and the external agents that our skin are exposed to are related to the appearance and changes of different skin lesions. Dermoscopy is a great help for differential diagnosis, although sometimes it may create doubts and induces further examinations, whereby we must expand the study. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who consulted about an overgrowth nodular lesion with erythematous edges. Its diameter was approximately 1 cm on the back of the right hand of about three weeks clinical course. The lesion had eroded edges and presented recurrent bleeding, which suggests a pyogenic granuloma versus an amelanotic melanoma as a differential diagnosis.

          Vascularización en dermatoscopia

          Under the right conditions, dermoscopy allows us to observe the vascular features of many different types of skin lesions. The visualization and identification of vessels with a characteristic morphology can be the key to diagnosis, especially in hypopigmented lesions in which the typical pigmented structures are not visible. Some of the more characteristic associations are the presence of crown vessels in sebaceous hyperplasia, arborizing telangiectasias in basal cell carcinoma, comma-shaped vessels in intradermal and compound nevi, dotted vessels in Spitz nevi and melanoma, and hairpin vessels in seborrheic keratoses. The recognition of distinctive vascular features can be of great help in the diagnosis of many types of skin lesions, and very often such patterns are the only key to the diagnosis of melanoma.
