A Comparative Study of Pigmented and Non-pigmented Basal Cell Carcinoma in Reflectance Confocal Microscopy

Conclusion: To our knowledge, that is the first study comparing features between pigmented and non-pigmented BCC by RCM. Pigmented and non-pigmented BCCs presented different features in both dermoscopy and RCM. Furthermore, RCM revealed more discriminating features at the DEJ than dermoscopy, thus can be more efficient in the differential diagnosis of difficult BCC.
