Abstract

We present the first case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma visualized via reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). This case describes the RCM features of such a tumor, in an effort to improve noninvasive characterization of cutaneous metastases.

Keywords: cancer; dermatopathology; metastases; noninvasive imaging; reflectance confocal microscopy; skin cancer.
