Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) showed numbers of bright tumor islands with peripheral palisading, cleft-like dark spaces, and dilated canalicular vessels in the dermis (Figure 1C). As noninvasive and convenient imaging technologies, dermoscopy, RCM and HFUS are sensitive and specific tools for diagnosing BCC and can provide multimodal information for the management. Dear Editor, A 59-year-old female presented with a 5-year history of a solitary skin-colored nodule on the upper lip (Figure 1A). [Extracted from the article]

One side of the transparent film is adhesive, thus it can be used to cover the glass window and wrap the metal ring and the front of probe (Fig. Contamination and crossinfection are always a significant concern when using reflectance confocal microscopy in the clinic because the glass window and metal ring at the front of the probe must contact the skin and mucosal surfaces, and sterilization of the imaging probes is usually impossible.

We report the use of a marking pen with metallic ink to assist body surface location in reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). For other techniques, lesions can be marked out on the skin with conventional surgical marking pens, but this type of ink cannot be detected by RCM. [Extracted from the article]

A 91‐year‐old woman presented with a 3‐month history of [extensive](javascript:;) cutaneous lesions with intense pruritus. She lived in a nursing home for a long time. Physical examination revealed a generalized erythematous and scaly rash with intense hyperkeratotic lesions on the neck, trunk, and limbs. Dermoscopy showed a sinuous burrow filled with white dot eggs and feces on the hand with a mite at the end of the burrow. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) manifested a sinuous burrow and a mite. The presence of mites was confirmed with fluorescence staining. The patient was diagnosed with crusted scabies and started treatment with 10% sulfur ointment. Her lesions and pruritus were resolved after 2 weeks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
