The many faces of lentigo —A comparison of diagnostic reflectance confocal microscopy features of various types of lentigo

Background: Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a noninvasive diagnostic (830 nm laser based) technique to visualize different layers of skin. Various published literature has proven the efficacy of RCM for the diagnosis of benign and malignant melanocytic and nonmelanocytic skin tumors such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, lentigo maligna and melanoma. The aim of this study is to present the diagnostic RCM features of different types of lentigo.
