Purpose. The purpose of this study is to identify cytological and structure features of melanocytic lesions to improve melanoma diagnosis, while observing them in vivo with confocal scanning laser microscopy and correlate them with dermatoscopy data.

Materials and methods. Thirty patients from 14 to 82 years old were observed, the average age was 51±17.8 years. Visual evaluation, epiluminiscent microscopy (dermatoscopy), confocal scanning laser microscopy in vivo and histological study of neoplasm were performed.

Results. A diagnostic algorithm for melanoma using confocal scanning laser microscopy was developed.

KEY WORDS: melanoma, melanoblastoma, nevocarcinoma, malignant tumor of neuroectodermal origin, diagnosis, cell morphyology.
