Introduction: Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) represents one of the newest non-invasive in vivo skin imaging techniques. Previous studies described morphologic criteria of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) under LC-OCT examination. Preliminary data on LC-OCT diagnostic performance for BCC have recently been published but showed only a modest improvement compared to dermoscopy, possibly due to study limitations.

- Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare skin cancer that often gets misdiagnosed due to its misleading appearance, complicating effective treatment and diagnosis.
- Traditional methods like biopsies are invasive and can be uncomfortable for patients, and non-invasive techniques have limited effectiveness.
- Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a promising new imaging technology that provides better diagnostic accuracy for EMPD and its recurrence, with a study showing much higher accuracy rates after proper training in its use.
Introduction: Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a recently introduced, non-invasive skin imaging technique combining the technical advantages of reflectance confocal microscopy and conventional OCT in terms of isotropic resolution and in-tissue penetration. Several studies have been published so far about the use of LC-OCT in melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin tumors. The aim of this review was to summarize the currently available data on the use of LC-OCT for benign and malignant melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin tumors.

Case Presentation: Recently, a first case of aseptic meningitis after the first shot of mRNA-BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) vaccine was reported. We present the first case of a 34-year-old woman without relevant medical history developing aseptic meningitis after her 2 Pfizer/BioNTech vaccination.
