Transforming the treatment of psoriasis to the 21st century: Detecting subclinical therapeutic response to secukinumab using optical coherence tomography as a prognostic indicator.

Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging device that scans the skin up to 2 mm in depth. OCT can capture real-time epidermal thickness (ET) measurements and detect subclinical changes in inflammatory skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Combining Reflective Confocal Microscopy and Dynamic Optical Coherence Tomography to Diagnose Melanoacanthoma: Case Report.

Few reported cases discuss distinguishing between melanoma and melanoacanthoma, a seborrheic keratosis (SK) variant, using noninvasive imaging devices. We present a case of a 38-year-old man with Fitzpatrick skin type IV with an asymmetric black papule showing clinical and dermoscopic features of both melanoma and SK. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and dynamic optical coherence tomography (d-OCT) were used for further evaluation.
