Labial Melanotic Macule: A Potential Pitfall on Reflectance Confocal Microscopy
Labial melanotic macules (LMM) are benign pigmented lesions that can be difficult to differentiate from melanoma on the mucous membrane and the mucocutaneous junction. Erfan et al report the reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) findings in four cases of LMM and discuss the significance of these fin...

Summary: | Labial melanotic macules (LMM) are benign pigmented lesions that can be difficult to differentiate from melanoma on the mucous membrane and the mucocutaneous junction. Erfan et al report the reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) findings in four cases of LMM and discuss the significance of these findings with regard to RCM criteria of other pigmented lesions. |
