## TL;DR

The paper introduces a new dermoscopic pattern for diagnosing PLEVA, a skin condition, offering a non-invasive alternative to biopsies.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel dermoscopic pattern specific to PLEVA for improved diagnosis.

## Key findings

- A new dermoscopic pattern for PLEVA was identified.
- This pattern can help diagnose PLEVA non-invasively.
- Skin biopsy is less effective for PLEVA diagnosis due to non-specific features.

## Abstract

PLEVA is a benign inflammatory disorder. Dermoscopy is a non‐invasive diagnostic modality. Thus, the new dermoscopic pattern mentioned in our literature can aid in the diagnosis of the disease, unlike the skin biopsy, which is an invasive modality and shows non‐specific features in PLEVA.
