Case report demonstrates in vivo identification of pilomatricoma features using LC-OCT in a child, suggesting a valuable diagnostic tool.
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.
