The study explores the use of Ultraviolet-Induced Fluorescence Dermoscopy (UVFD) to differentiate between non-pigmented malignant and benign facial lesions. It identifies specific features under UVFD that are indicative of certain lesion types. The findings suggest that incorporating UVFD into routine clinical practice could enhance diagnostic accuracy and potentially decrease the number of unnecessary biopsies performed.
