Abstract

Differential diagnosis of melanoma includes not only ­melanocytic nevi, but also a series of non-melanocytic, benign and malignant, pigmented and nonpigmented skin tumors. Under routine conditions it is not a rare event facing ­common lesions that show unusual morphologic features or, on the other hand, uncommon skin tumors that exhibit peculiar clinical and dermoscopic characteristics. In this setting RCM can be a reliable tool for improving the confidence of the clinician when dealing with such difficult-to-interpret lesions. We present a series of lesions that can be ­encountered in a ­clinical setting of patients with pigmented and non-pigmented skin tumors. For some of these lesions (ink-spot lentigo and dermatofibroma) RCM features have been already described by clinical studies including series of cases [1, 2].
