Abstract
The dermatoscope is a non-invasive diagnostic method that exposes the subepidermal structures. Melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions can be more accurately diagnosed before biopsy. Carry out a literature review of the last 18 years in order to address the main dermatoscopic features of plane facial lesions, based on scientific articles, to facilitate their diagnosis. A systematic bibliographic search was performed in PubMed, Scielo, Google academic and Medline search sites. A total of 454 studies dated from 2002 and 2020 were found, from which 20 studies were selected. The diagnosis of plane facial lesions presents some difficulties in its differentiation, due to the characteristics of the skin in this location of the body. Finding a diagnosis of the lesions leads to an increased number of biopsies, looking for clues that match benign lesions is a way to assist in the therapeutic decision.
