Abstract

This article discusses the use of line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) as a new tool for assessing cutaneous mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The early diagnosis of MF is challenging and often results in a therapeutic delay. LC-OCT allows for the visualization of various features of MF, such as epidermal architectural disarray, atypical lymphocytes, and dermal changes. The study demonstrates that LC-OCT has a high correlation with histology and can provide valuable information for the diagnosis and follow-up of MF. [Extracted from the article]
