Dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy in pedunculated basal cell carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
There have been limited cases of pedunculated basal cell carcinoma (BCC) reported in the literature. The dermoscopic features were described in only one of them. However, not one of them described the confocal microscopy features. In this report we presented a case of pedunculated basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy features.

Dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy features of two cases of vulvar basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant skin cancer. Its genital localization is rare, and the diagnosis in this site could be challenging. Here, we report two patients with vulvar BCC and describe their clinical, dermoscopic and in vivo and ex vivo reflectance confocal microscopic (RCM) features. Dermoscopy and RCM can be useful tools for helping the clinical diagnosis of vulva...
متن کاملReflectance confocal microscopy and dermoscopy for in vivo, non-invasive skin imaging of superficial basal cell carcinoma
Superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC) is the second most frequent histological type of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), usually requiring a skin biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. It usually appears on the upper trunk and shoulders as erythematous and squamous lesions. Although it has a slow growth and seldom metastasizes, early diagnosis and management are of crucial importance in preventing local ...
متن کاملDendritic cells in pigmented basal cell carcinoma: a relevant finding by reflectance-mode confocal microscopy.
BACKGROUND Reflectance-mode confocal microscopy (RCM) is a new approach for the in vivo diagnosis of skin tumors. A few studies of RCM on basal cell carcinoma (BCC) have provided specific diagnostic criteria, but large studies on pigmented basal cell carcinoma are lacking. Proliferation of large dendritic-shaped cells within a melanocytic tumor has been associated with the diagnosis of melanoma...
متن کاملIn vivo reflectance confocal microscopy of basal cell carcinoma with cystic degeneration.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer, may display various clinical aspects, frequently has subclinical extension, and through local invasion may induce important tissue damage. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a modern technique that allows a non-invasive investigation of skin structure with a nearly histological resolution, and may achieve an optimal in vivo evalua...
متن کاملA pink papule on the back of an 82-year-old man: an example of the buttonhole sign on reflectance confocal microscopy
An 82-year-old man with Fitzpatrick skin type III presented for the evaluation of a lesion on the left upper back. A scaly pink papule was observed (Figure 1). The differential diagnosis included squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and amelanotic melanoma. On dermoscopy, multiple coiled blood vessels (also termed glo-merular vessels) were scattered across the...
