dc.description.abstractDiagnosis can be difficult in isolated palmar and plantar lesions in patients with psoriasis and eczema. The purpose of our study is to compare the dermoscopic findings in patients with palmoplantar psoriasis and palmoplantar hyperkeratotic eczema. This prospective, comparative study included 90 patients histopathologically diagnosed with eczema or psoriasis (35 psoriasis and 55 eczema). The age range was 18–75 years. The most common vessel type was dot vessel in psoriasis. Red globular ring vessels were seen in five patients with psoriasis, but not in any with eczema (P = 0.007). The most common vascular distribution pattern was regular in psoriasis (40%). Patchy vascular pattern was significant in eczema. The most common background color was light red in psoriasis (48.6%) (P ' 0.001). Brownish-orange globules were observed in 25.7% of patients with eczema and 5.7% in patients with psoriasis (P = 0.02). There is only one study in the published work about dermoscopy of palmoplantar psoriasis and eczema. In our study, yellow crusts, patchy scale distribution, patchy vascular pattern, yellow scale color, dull red background color and brownish-orange globules were significant in patients with palmoplantar eczema. On the other hand, patients with psoriasis had light red background color, regular vascular distribution pattern and white scale color. We observed globule structures with a pale center and dark peripheral rim only in patients with eczema, which was not identified in previous studies. This globule structure may be a new finding in eczema. © 2020 Japanese Dermatological Association
