Reflectance confocal microscopy features of facial angiofibromas

Facial angiofibromas are benign tumors presenting as firm, dome-shaped flesh-colored to pink papules, typically on the nose and adjoining central face. Clinically and dermoscopically they can mimic melanocytic nevi or basal cell carcinomas (BCC). Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a noninvasi...
