Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a noninvasive imaging tool that has the potential to revolutionize dermatology. Extensive research in this area in conjunction with the recent assignment of reimbursement codes has made the clinical use of this technology a practical reality. Though there is awareness and use of this technology at large academic centers, a knowledge gap still remains in interpreting RCM images among the dermatology community. We review the key RCM features of melanocytic and nonmelanocytic lesions to provide guidance in distinguishing benign entities from malignant dermatologic neoplasms.
反射共焦显微镜（RCM）是一种非侵入性成像工具，具有彻底改变皮肤病学的潜力。在这一领域的广泛研究以及最近指定的报销代码，使得该技术的临床应用成为现实。尽管在大型学术中心已经意识到并使用了这项技术，但在皮肤科医生中，对 RCM 图像的解读仍然存在知识差距。我们回顾了黑素细胞和非黑素细胞病变的 RCM 特征，以提供从良性实体到恶性皮肤肿瘤的鉴别指导。
