Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a major health problem because of its high incidence in the Caucasian population, as well as its related potential morbidity and mortality. Reflectance confocal microscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows the visualization of the skin at a nearly histological resolution, improving significantly the early diagnosis of NMSC. This tool is also important in the management of NMSC therapy and in the post-treatment follow-up. In this chapter, we provide a review of the reflectance confocal microscopy criteria for the diagnosis of NMSC.

Abstract
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a major health problem because of its high incidence in the Caucasian population, as well as its related potential morbidity and mortality. Reflectance confocal microscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows the visualization of the skin at a nearly histological resolution, improving significantly the early diagnosis of NMSC. This tool is also important in the management of NMSC therapy and in the post-treatment follow-up. In this chapter, we provide a review of the reflectance confocal microscopy criteria for the diagnosis of NMSC.
