Objective: can dermatoscopy serve as the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of nail plate psoriasis, eliminating the need for histopathological examination for the final diagnosis of nail psoriasis. Methodology for writing a review. A literature search was conducted using Medline, PubMed, and eLibrary databases for all years to date. Search terms included words and phrases such as "psoriasis", "nail psoriasis dermatoscopy", and "nail plate dermatoscopy". The number of sources considered is 35. A total of 16 studies from 2010 to 2022 were critically assessed. Conclusion. Nail psoriasis is characterized by many specific dermatoscopic features. In this regard, dermatoscopy, which allows diagnosing psoriatic onychodystrophies, is an effective method for studying the specific lesion of the nail plates to clarify the diagnosis of nail psoriasis.
