Abstract     Dermatoscopy has broad application in a daily routine of a dermatologis. With surface microscopy or epiluminiscence microscopy a step ahead was made in the development of this kind of examination. Its main benefits are in diagnosing the changes of the skin pigmentation. The basics of epiluminiscence microscopy are ABCD criteria. Knowing these criteria, even less experienced dermatologists can distinguish between benign and malignant melanocytic changes on the skin as well as between melanocytic and non-melanocytic tumors.
Summary     Dermatoskopija je pogosta v rutinskem delu dermatologa. Površinska mikroskopija ali epiluminiscenčna mikroskopija je samo nadgradnja. Njen glavni pomen je pri diferencialni diagnozi pigmentnih sprememb kože. Pomen ABCD kriterijev je osnova epiluminiscenčne mikroskopije. Na osnovi ABCD kriterijev lahko manj izkušeni dermatologi razlikujejo benigne od malignih melanocitnih sprememb, kot tudi melanocitne od nemelanocitnih tumorjev kože.
