Summary
In this paper, the development of a new module of Internet Information System for synthesis of melanocytic skin lesion images is briefly outlined. The key approach in the developed synthesis methodology of images is a semantic conversion of textual description of melanocytic skin lesions - by an in-house developed system - into digital images. It was found, that the developed methodology can be successfully used in the process of teaching of dermatology students and also in training of preferred medical doctors. The system is available via Internet at the website http://www.melanoma.pl.
