Image Gallery: In vivo fluorescence-advanced videodermatoscopy for the characterization of skin melanocytic pigmented lesions

The fluorescence-advanced videodermatoscopy (FAV) is a new noninvasive method for in vivo skin examination. In a series of 6 flat melanocytic pigmented lesions(3 melanomas and 3 melanocytic naevi), FAV allowed a correct characterization between benign and malignant lesions, showing that types of cell clusters were more frequently represented in different kinds of lesions. Despite the limitations of our study due to the small number of cases, these observations lead us to think that FAV may represent a new noninvasive investigative method in studying cellular resolution melanocytic pigmented lesions
