Reflectance confocal microscopy resulted to be a reliable tool for the noninvasive diagnosis of neoplastic and virus-associated skin changes in organ transplant recipients. Nevertheless, given the frequency and diagnostic complexity of the hyperkeratotic lesions occurring post-transplantation, larger cohorts of patients are required to confirm and consolidate these findings.
