The globular dermoscopic pattern in pigmented lesions of basal cell carcinoma can cause diagnostic confusion, especially in cases in which other more commonly observed structures are absent. Therefore, the use of refletance confocal microscopy becomes important to determine the diagnosis and eliminate the need for biopsies.

Halo, cockade, eczematous, and targetoid hemosiderotic nevi are known as target nevi, classified as melanocytic nevi with special features and often mimic melanoma. This communication aims to demonstrate clinical manifestations, dermoscopic patterns, and reflectance confocal microscopy findings in 4 patients with different types of target nevi.
