2 Skin Lesions and Dermatoscopy 16 August 2018 Christchurch GPCME Amanda Oakley Dermatologist, Dept of Dermatology, Health Waikato Adjunct Associate Professor, Waikato Clinical Campus Website Manager, DermNet New Zealand Specialist Dermatologist, Tristram Clinic Diagnosing Dermatologist, MoleMap NZ Director, New Zealand Teledermatology Tristram Clinic

3 Declaration of conflict of interest I diagnose for MoleMap NZ Thanks for many images I am Founder and Chief Editor of DermNet NZ Sponsored by PHARMA I have been on various advisory boards over the years but not relevant to this talk

4 This workshop Is not intended to make you an expert Expects you to take a history and to undertake total body skin examination 4

5 Content of workshop Course context Pre-test Introduction to dermatoscopy Clinical features of pigmented skin lesions Dermatoscopy of pigmented skin lesions Interactive exercises 5

6 6

7 Melanoma Standards Standard 1.1 Patients are offered evidence-based information on risk factors, prevention and detection of melanoma early Avoid sunburn and adopt UV protection (physical methods complemented by sunscreen) Strongly discourage use of sunbeds Advise all adults, particularly those aged 50 and over to: Regularly examine their skin Get someone else to check areas difficult to see Seek advice from a doctor about suspicious lesions. Total lack of sun exposure not advisable without vitamin D supplementation

8 Risk factors are age, prior melanoma / skin cancer / sun damage, many/large moles But two-thirds melanoma in average-risk subjects Nearly all skin cancer relates to UVR exposure Protect skin from UVR (sun, indoor tanning beds) Behaviour, clothing, SPF 50+ sunscreen Teach self skin-examination If risk factors, annual full skin check If many moles, digital dermatoscopic surveillance 8

9 Strongest predictors of invasive melanoma in > 65 yr: 2.3 x risk than < 45 Men: 2.1 x risk than women Queenslanders Skin doesn't tan: 4.8 x risk than if tan deeply At age 21 with many moles: 4.4 x those with 0 If >21 lesions treated, 2.5 x higher risk than those who had none treated 9

10 Primary prevention Target: All ages Fair skinned people People who work outdoors People with existing sun damage 10

11 Vitamin D and sun exposure 11

12 Estimate patient s risk of melanoma / NMSC Risk factor widget on BPAC Stay alert to incidental skin lesions Melanoma + NMSC Carry out full skin check Determine what s normal for the patient (moles, freckles, seborrhoeic keratoses, angiomas) 12

13 Take a history Skin cancer, immune suppression (drugs, disease), strong family history of melanoma (2+ < 40 yrs) Examine face and hands for actinic keratoses, solar lentigines Examine all skin for mole number (> 100), pattern Large moles, small dark moles, odd-looking moles Large congenital melanocytic naevi If > 20 cm, send to specialist for assessment 13

14 Melanoma Standards Standard 4.1 Investigation, Diagnosis and Staging Patients have access to a clinician trained in: Early detection and diagnosis of melanoma, including the use of dermatoscopy Surgical skills to undertake excision and direct closure of in-situ or thin melanoma The triage and referral of patients with lesions of uncertain diagnosis, thicker melanoma and lesions on sites where surgery is difficult.

15 Today s workshop is an introduction to dermatoscopy; it takes practice to be good at it Digital dermatoscopy (images) enhances skill Aids referral + clinicopathological correlation Automated devices should not be relied upon Surgical skills also take training + practice If you are not doing lots of surgery, refer to someone who is 15

29 Introduction to dermatoscopy 29

30 This workshop is interactive Option A Option B 30

31 Who has their own dermatoscope? I have my own I don t have my own 31

32 What is dermatoscopy? = Dermatoscopy, epiluminescent microscopy Skin examination using: Magnification Good light Means to reduce surface reflection Contact fluid film Polarising filter Improves diagnostic accuracy in expert hands Confirmed by numerous clinical trials 32

33 Why magnify? 34

34 Why reduce surface reflection? No polarisation Polarisation 36

35 Dermatoscopes 37

36 This workshop is interactive Option 1 Option 2 Option 3??? 38

37 Option 4 None of the options are true: I don t know Not applicable 39

38 My dermatoscope is: Polarised Unpolarised A? B? Both? 40

39 My dermatoscope is: Contact Non-contact A? B? Both? 41

40 I have photodermatoscopy: Yes No A? B? Both? 42

41 Which dermatoscope? Depends on budget, interest, digital imaging Choices: Polarised, unpolarised or both Contact or non-contact Ability to attach to a camera Lens size and quality Portability Charger: AC, USB, dock 43

42 Non-contact devices Speedy review of entire skin surface Polarised view

43 Contact devices Add fluid Better quality Best for imaging Polarised and non-polarised options 46

44 Polarised vs unpolarised Both have liquid interface and lens in contact with the skin

45 How to use non-contact dermatoscope Takes practice to focus on skin lesions Allows a quick review of many lesions 50

46 How to use contact dermatoscope Tedious but higher quality Apply fluid to lesion Clean lens between lesions Clean lens between cases 51

47 Photography = digital dermatoscopy Camera Adapter(s) Suitable dermatoscope Archiving system Software suitable for sharing images 53

48 Why take photos? Clinical purposes The record Referral: required for HSCan melanoma referrals Clinicopathological correlation Education Yours Someone else s Research, publication 54

49 Smartphone + device Handyscope, Veos HD1, HD2 For iphone 4, 5, 6 Dermlite DL1, DL2, DL3 For iphone 4, 5, 6, 6+, 6s; ipod Touch; ipad 3, 4, air, mini; Galaxy S3, S4, S5 S6 Heine ic1 For iphone 5, 6 DermLite Hüd For smartphones 55

50 56

51 DermEngine software 57

52 Dermatoscopy training requires: Experience in skin history / examination Elementary course e.g., today s Reference books, articles, online resources A dermatoscope immediately to hand A camera to record lesions of interest Continued practice 58

53 Training in dermatoscopy Online modules: Apps Textbooks International Diploma of Dermatoscopy MMed (Skin Cancer) Program, U of Queensland Healthcert Skin Cancer Certificate Courses Skin Cancer College Australasia Certificatehttp:// 59

55 Virtual Dermatoscope 61

56 When to use dermatoscopy All the time! Pigmented and non-pigmented lesions Benign, malignant and of uncertain significance Inflammatory dermatoses Psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, lupus Infestations Head lice, scabies 62

57 Which of these has scabies? A? B? Both?

58 Which of these has scabies? A? B? Both?

59 Dermatoscopy of burrow

60 Skin examination 66

61 I d like a skin check Take a history Assess risk factors for skin cancer Identify lesion(s) of concern To patient, significant other, health professional Onset, duration, behaviour Effect of previous treatment 67

62 Risk factors for melanoma/nmsc Age, esp. >50 years Previous melanoma Previous keratinocytic skin cancer (BCC, SCC) Many moles Large moles Familial melanoma (2+ young, close relatives) Sunburns (melanoma, BCC) Chronic exposure to UV (AKs, SCCs) 68

63 Skin examination Good light & magnification Whole body Lesion location, distribution, morphology Size Shape Surface Structure Colour Ugly duckling? Dermlite Lumio & Lumio S 69

64 Photograph the lesion Anatomic Close-up 70

65 Take dermatoscopy images Clean lenses, dry carefully Apply fluid to lesion surface Spacer plate out, in contact with lesion, focus & capture 71

66 Dermatoscopy images Polarised Unpolarised 72

67 Dermatoscopy images Polarised Unpolarised 73

68 Still not sure? Excise with 2-mm margin 74 Histopathology: seborrhoeic keratosis

69 Pigmented skin lesions Melanocytic Naevus + melanomas Epithelial Seborrhoeic keratosis + BCC / SCC Vascular Angioma + haemorrhage Other Dermatofibroma 75

70 Benign lesions Rarely need excision. Exceptions: If malignancy cannot be excluded Significant symptoms Cosmetic reasons Benign lesions show symmetry: Single or multiple patterns Assess structure, colour and border (not shape) 76

71 So, which benign lesions: Should be referred? Excised as a precaution? Followed up? Ignored? It isn t always easy! 77

72 High Suspicion of Cancer HSCan (melanoma) Ministry of Health idea Initially for triage Later will be for referral 78
