Opening a Window into Living Tissue: Histopathologic Features of Confocal Microscopic Findings in Skin Tumors.
The knowledge of histopathology and in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy correlation has several potential applications. Reflectance confocal microscopy can be performed in all skin tumors, and in this article, the most common histopathologic features of confocal microscopic findings in melanocytic skin tumors and nonmelanocytic skin tumors are described.
