AB - We have come to appreciate that the rosette structure, depicted
as 4 white points arranged as a 4-leaf clover or as leaves radiating
out from a central stem, may be seen under polarized dermoscopy in
a range of skin lesions. Until recently, rosettes were deemed to be a
dermoscopic structure observed only in Actinic Keratoses (AKs) and
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCCs), and their presence was thought
to support this diagnosis. We assert, instead, that rosettes are not
uniquely specific to SCCs. Rather, rosettes can be seen in a variety of
neoplasms, including, but not limited to, basal cell carcinomas and
melanomas. They have also been observed in nonlesional actinically
damaged skin.
