In vivo epiluminescent light microscopy (ELM) of pigmented skin lesions reveals numerous elementary structures. Among them, the pigment network (PN), black dots (BD) and brown globules (BG) constitute important semiologic features. Based on histological extrapolations, it has been postulated that PN should reflect the presence of melanin in the epidermis and its honeycomb aspect should result from the dermoepidermal architecture.
