Tomografia de coerência óptica no diagnóstico do carcinoma basocelular

Early diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma—a cutaneous neoplasia with high incidence—can bring great benefits to the patient. Often, slightly pigmented lesions, small initial lesions, and superficial lesions can represent a clinical and dermoscopic diagnostic challenge for not having the typical findings of this neoplasia. In such cases, optical coherence tomography—a promising technology in dermatology—is an auxiliary, non-invasive resource that can be incorporated into the clinical practice.
