Recurrent halo nevus: Dermoscopy and confocal microscopy features
HN: halo nevi RN: recurrent nevi RCM: reflectance confocal microscopy INTRODUCTION Melanocytic nevi change throughout a person’s life. Most melanocytic nevi are acquired during childhood and early adulthood; in later life, the prevalence of melanocytic nevi falls. Nevi frequently form, but the exact mechanisms involved in their generation remain unknown. Nevi usually progressively fade or, less...
متن کاملNevomelanocytic atypia detection by in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a promising novel technology for non-invasive early diagnostics of cutaneous melanoma. However, the possibility to detect melanocytic atypia in nevi by means of in vivo RCM remains unknown. The aim of the study was to evaluate the significance of in vivo RCM features of melanocytic atypia for the diagnosis of melanocytic ...

OBJECTIVES To identify in vivo microscopic substrates of the dermoscopic patterns of melanocytic lesions and to correlate them with histopathologic features. DESIGN Before excision, lesion areas that showed characteristic dermoscopic patterns were imaged by dermoscopy and confocal microscopy and directly correlated with histopathologic features. SETTING Departments of Dermatology of the Uni...

متن کاملReflectance-mode confocal microscopy of pigmented skin lesions--improvement in melanoma diagnostic specificity.
BACKGROUND In vivo confocal microscopy enables skin visualization with a quasihistopathologic resolution. OBJECTIVE We sought to describe confocal features in melanocytic lesions and to evaluate their diagnostic significance for melanoma (MM) identification. METHODS Thirty seven MMs, 49 acquired nevi, and 16 Spitz/Reed nevi, presenting equivocal clinicodermoscopic aspects were investigated ...
