Reflectance confocal microscopy correlates of dermoscopic patterns of facial lesions help to discriminate lentigo maligna from pigmented nonmelanocytic macules

摘要

Background The clinical recognition of lentigo maligna (LM) and LM melanoma can be very challenging due to the overlapping features it shares with other pigmented macules of the skin. Noninvasive diagnostic techniques can assist in the differential diagnosis.
