Mole check and dermoscopy in Vilnius

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive examination method that allows a more detailed assessment of the structures of moles and other pigmented or non-pigmented skin lesions. A dermoscopic examination may be performed as part of a preventive mole check or when a new or changing skin lesion is noticed.

A mole or other skin lesion should be evaluated by a doctor if it:

• Changes in size, shape or colour;
• Becomes asymmetrical;
• Develops irregular or poorly defined borders;
• Starts bleeding or oozing;
• Becomes itchy, painful or tender;
• Looks noticeably different from other skin lesions;
• Is newly developed and continues to change.

Oncodermatology – skin cancer diagnosis

The clinic provides diagnosis and treatment of precancerous skin lesions and malignant skin tumours, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Oncodermatologists assess suspicious skin lesions, perform dermoscopy and, when clinically indicated, a skin biopsy and histological examination.

ABCDE criteria for evaluating moles

When examining moles, it is important to look for the following features:

• A (Asymmetry) – one half of the mole differs from the other;
• B (Border) – irregular, uneven or poorly defined borders;
• C (Color) – uneven colour or several different shades within the same lesion;
• D (Diameter) – a diameter greater than 6 mm may be a warning sign, although melanoma can also be smaller;
• E (Evolution) – changes in the size, shape, colour or other characteristics of the mole.
