This first session is to introduce the basics of pattern analysis of skin lesions. So forget about trying to diagnose the lesion. Let's describe the lesions and get good at it.
We start by describing the pattern we see - LCCDS & P Lines/Circles/Clods/Dots/Structureless & Pseudopods. The last is very specific and so it is best to concentrate on LCCDS to begin with.

These are the types of Patterns
These are the types of Lines
An example of Lines Reticular
An example of Lines Branched
An example of Lines Parrallel
An example of Lines Radial. Defined as lines meeting at a point.
An example of Lines Peripheral
An example of Lines Curved. Not the best example because the predominant pattern in the background is reticular. There are however a number of lines curved - you need at least 25% of a lesion to have curved lines to make it a pattern.
