Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a new, valid means for rapid and non-invasive in vivo examination of the epidermis upper dermis, allowing digital interpretation measurement high-resolution images on cellular level. Given these properties, it may represent tool monitoring psoriasis during treatment, new method to set precise objective severity disease.
Super-high (×400) magnification dermoscopy (D400) is a new non-invasive imaging technique that has been shown to add information for the differential diagnosis of melanocytic lesions in pilot study. Our study aimed confirm if D400 can details discrimination clinically atypical nevus and melanoma. This retrospective observational, multicentric enrolling patients who received ×20 (D20) ×400 dermoscopic examinations pigmented skin lesions. Dermoscopic images were retrospectively evaluated by...
Genital warts are the most frequent sexually transmitted disease. Their clinical diagnosis is not always easy, and invasive skin biopsies for histological examination should be performed in these cases. The aim of study was to investigate use non-invasive imaging techniques genital their imitators. We retrospectively evaluated dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), line-filed (LC-OCT) images nine patients with 19 mucous membranes five lesions that clinically mimic warts,...
Nail psoriasis (NP) is often considered disfiguring for patients with a relevant impact on quality of life (QoL). It also difficult to treat dermatologists who are frustrated by the scarcity effective therapeutic alternatives in this particular location. Topical therapies used as first-line treatment mild NP, but efficacy modest. Conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (cDMARDs) (e.g., cyclosporine, methotrexate, acitretin, and dimethyl fumarate) generally avoided NP without...
Erytrhodermic psoriasis (EP) is a rare subset of that considered dermatologic emergency. Due to its limited clinical evidence, pathogenesis largely unknown and treatment represents challenge. Conventional therapies such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, acitretin are still first-line but it necessary study the efficacy safety biologics, including antitumor necrosis factor (TNF), anti-interleukin (IL)-23, anti-IL17 agents define new guidelines treatment. Here, we report two cases patients with...

Dear Editor, The diagnosis of scabies is primarily clinical; however, the variability in presentation can complicate it. Besides dermoscopy, different non-invasive imaging techniques have been used to assist diagnosis: 400x magnification, line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT), reflectance microscopy (RCM), and high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) could be useful for various diseases such as benign tumors, malignant infectious all types (viral, bacterial, parasitic). On other...
