Abstract
BACKGROUND: The reliability to noninvasively identify features of inflammatory dermatoses by reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) remains unknown. Specific consensus terminology with representative images is necessary to ensure consistent feature-level interpretation among RCM readers. METHODS: Through an iterative process of refinement and discussion among five international RCM experts, we developed a glossary with representative images of RCM features of aGVHD. In 17 lesions from 12 patients with cutaneous aGVHD, four dermatopathologists and four RCM readers independently evaluated the presence of aGVHD features in scanned histopathology slides and 1.5x1.5 mm RCM submosaics at 4 depths, respectively.
