Abstract

Refleksyjna mikroskopia konfokalna (reflectance confocal microscopy, RCM) jest nieinwazyjną metodą diagnostyczną in vivo stosowaną komplementarnie do badania dermoskopowego i klinicznego. Znalazła zastosowanie w diagnostyce różnicowej zmian nowotworowych, wybranych chorób zapalnych oraz infekcyjnych i nienowotworowych zaburzeń barwnikowych skóry. Istotnym wsparciem dla klinicysty są liczne algorytmy RCM, charakteryzujące się wysokimi wskaźnikami czułości i swoistości w rozpoznawaniu czerniaka. Liczne badania wykazały, że RCM zwiększa dokładność diagnostyczną, oszczędza wielu niepotrzebnych wycięć chirurgicznych i może być stosowana w celu monitorowania leczenia lub progresji choroby. W oparciu o przegląd piśmiennictwa artykuł podsumowuje aktualne możliwości zastosowania RCM w praktyce klinicznej z uwzględnieniem ograniczeń metody.
