Line‐Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography ( <scp>LC</scp> ‐ <scp>OCT</scp> ) of Pilomatricoma
Pilomatricoma is a benign cutaneous tumor of hair matrix origin, often presenting in children as a slow-growing, firm, colored nodule. Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a novel imaging method that enables non-invasive, quasi-histologic visualization of the skin. We report the case of a 12-year-old patient in whom LC-OCT allowed the in vivo identification of histological features of pilomatricoma.
