“…These studies mostly evaluated diagnostic performance of RCM alone and differential diagnosis was predominantly based on dermoscopically equivocal lesions [ 5 , 7 – 10 , 13 – 22 ]. Reported diagnostic sensitivity was high in all cases (ranging between 84 to 100%) and specificity variable, lower in more difficult study populations such as those containing pink lesions [ 5 , 7 ] and equivocal lesions that presented with architectural changes during sequential digital dermoscopic follow-up [ 8 , 9 ], demonstrating the usefulness and reliability of this methodology for achieving a precise MM diagnosis. The always superior specificity and comparable sensitivity, when compared with dermoscopy alone, suggests the benefit of combined use of these technologies in clinical settings [ 18 , 20 ].…”
