DEAR EDITOR, Dermoscopy (at 4009; Medicam 1000, Fotofinder, Bad Birnbach, Germany, field of view 0.5625 mm2) can identify pigmented cells. Keratinocytes of solar lentigo appear as light brown polygons (Fig. 1a, arrow, scale bar 100 lm; inset: 209 dermoscopy; a rectangle indicates the area observed at 4009) and correlate with hyper-reflective homogeneous cells at reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM, Fig. 1b, arrow). Melanocytes of melanoma appear as pigmented roundish irregular structures (Fig. 1c, arrow; inset: 209 dermoscopy) and correlate with pagetoid cells at RCM (RCM, Fig. 1d, arrows). It took 15 min to overlap the dermoscopic and RCM images. Dermoscopy (at 4009) could be used to improve the diagnostic accuracy of conventional dermoscopy. E . C INOTT I 1 iD R. ROS S I 2
