title: [The role of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of basosquamous carcinoma].
abstract: Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare skin cancer which has areas of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and a transition zone between them. However, dermoscopic features of BSC are not well described in the literature, except for two studies. The aim of this case study was to better identify and clarify the role of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of BSC, although histological confirmation is necessary.
