Pigmented lesions of the genital mucosa are common, affecting between 10% and 20% of the population. The clinical appearance is sometimes confusing. They are often extensive, irregular, and inhomogeneous in color, which can make them look suspicious. Moreover, dermatoscopic imaging is often complex to interpret, as shown by the many different patterns reported in the literature. Thus, preliminary work in confocal microscopy has shown that it is possible to simplify diagnosis by using microscopic, in vivo, non-invasive imaging. However, CIM cameras are rare, very expensive and difficult to access. Conversely, digital dermatoscopes with 400x magnification are much less expensive and can also allow, in a certain number of cases, an examination at the cellular level of tumors, with, in our opinion, the advantage of being easy to learn. In the context of the pooling of resources within medical centers in particular, their dissemination should accelerate. Furthermore, x400 dermatoscopy can provide similar information to IVCM for the most frequent black genital tumors.
