In vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy of pigmented Spitz nevi: comparison of in vivo confocal images with dermoscopy and routine histopathology.
J Am Acad Dermatol
September 2004
Department of Dermatology, University of Modena and Reggio Emila. Italy.
Background: Spitz nevus is a benign melanocytic lesion sometimes mistakenly diagnosed clinically as melanoma.
Objective: Our aim was to evaluate in vivo reflectance-mode confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) aspects of globular Spitz nevi and to correlate them with those of surface microscopy and histopathology.
Methods: A total of 6 Spitz nevi, with globular aspects on epiluminescence observation, were imaged with CSLM and subsequently excised for histopathologic examination.
