Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
MV SAI GOUTHAM REDDY
Brief Summary

·      Dermoscopy is a non-invasive OPD procedure. Histopathological findings will help to diagnose accurately. If we correlate the dermoscopic findings with histopathological findings of suspected patients with clinical features of ADMH we can reduce the invasive procedures in near future.

·      This study will help in assessing the correlation between clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological findings in ADMH.

·      Dermoscopy can minimise the need to do biopsy for diagnosis in suspected ADMH patients
