All 3 lesions reveal a similar pattern: the presence of glomerularlike vessels at high magnification (x30) or red globules at low magnification (x10) and a scaly surface. The glomerularlike vessels are a peculiar dermoscopic vascular feature characterized by the presence of tortuous vessels mimicking the glomerular apparatus of the kidney.
