Abstract
In non-pigmented skin tumors the diagnosis is mainly based on the evaluation of the vascular morphology and vessels´ distribution dermoscopically [1-4]. However, up to date, no study formally correlated the prevailing vascular morphology with the thickness of melanoma according to Breslow and amount of pigmentation.
