Biopsy-proven primary BCCs, that presented with at least 3:1 length:width ratio on physical examination, irrespective of tumor subtype or location, were included. Clinical and dermoscopic analysis were performed by 2 experts in dermoscopy.\nResults: Eighteen cases of LBCC met our inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Median age at diagnosis was 86.0 years, 10 patients (58.8%) were males. Regarding anatomic location, 11\/18 (61.1%) were located on the head and neck, 5\/18 (27.7%) cases were found on the trunk, and 2 on lower extremities (11.1%). Under dermoscopy, 15\/18 (83.3%) of LBCC were pigmented. All tumors displayed at least one of the BCC-specific dermoscopic criteria the most common being blue-grey globules (72.2%).\nConclusions: Dermoscopy might be useful in the differentiation of LBCC from other diagnoses presenting as linear lesions such as scars, scratches\/erosions, and tattoos, among others. Some of these lesions might be confused by naked eye examination alone.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5826\/dpc.1204a195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,1]],"date-time":"2022-11-01T10:35:08Z","timestamp":1667298908000},"page":"e2022195","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Dermoscopy of linear basal cell carcinomas, a potential mimicker of linear lesions: a descriptive case series"],"prefix":"10.5826","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4040-3640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristian Patricio","family":"Navarrete-Dechent","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Marchetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Uribe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Schwartz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Liopyris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadeem","family":"Marghoob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucas","family":"Galimany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalia","family":"Jaimes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harold","family":"Rabinovitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Moraes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashfaq","family":"Marghoob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alvaro","family":"Abarzua-Araya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"27750","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,31]]},"container-title":["Dermatology Practical &amp; Conceptual"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/dpcj.org\/index.php\/dpc\/article\/download\/2269\/1761","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/dpcj.org\/index.php\/dpc\/article\/download\/2269\/1761","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,3]],"date-time":"2022-11-03T16:07:45Z","timestamp":1667491665000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/dpcj.org\/index.php\/dpc\/article\/view\/2269"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,31]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5826\/dpc.1204a195","relation":{},"ISSN":["2160-9381"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2160-9381","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,31]]}}}
