Materiels and Methods: We describe the dermoscopic periungual appearance of 153 patients followed for various systemic diseases in the dermatology department of CHU HASSAN II in Fes, while comparing our results with those of the literature. The examination was performed with a photofinder dermoscope then dermlite by simple transillumination of the cutaneous epithelium illuminated by the dermoscope light.
