Article Synopsis
  • The popularity of tattoos has led to more skin reactions, including infections, allergies, and a rare condition called tattoo-induced cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia (CLH), which mimics skin cancer.
  • A study from September 2021 to May 2023 used advanced non-invasive tools like reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) to analyze suspicious tattoo-related lesions in five patients diagnosed with CLH.
  • Findings showed that both RCM and LC-OCT effectively identified features of CLH, such as lymphocyte infiltration patterns, and they may offer a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional biopsies for diagnosing tattoo-related skin complications in the future.

Background: There are no univocal opinions on the management of incompletely excised basal cell carcinoma (BCC); early re-excision or clinical observation represent the two possible options. The main objective of the present study was to compare the rate of recurrence between incompletely excised BCCs, not re-excised, and completely excised BCCs within a 3-5 year follow-up period in order to reach indications about the most appropriate care strategy.

Methods: We conducted a case-control study on a cohort of 39 incompletely excised and 107 completely excised BCCs.
