Abstract
The need for differential diagnosis of skin tumors in children and adolescents determines the relevance of improving age-adapted research methods. Dermatoscopic analysis rightfully belongs to the method of choice as a non-invasive approach today. The study presents the experience of dermatoscopic examination of skin tumors in pediatric patient`s cohort, assessment of the method informativeness and visualization of the probability of a diagnostic error by constructing a mathematical matrix.
