Pilot study on reflectance confocal microscopy imaging of lichen planus: a real-time, non-invasive aid for clinical diagnosis

Abstract

Background  Lichen planus (LP) represents a relatively common skin inflammatory entity included in the major group of interface dermatitis. In recent years, reflectance confocal microscopy has demonstrated to be a valuable tool for the ‘in vivo’ characterization of various skin diseases with cellular level resolution. No data are currently available that uses reflectance confocal microscopy to study LP.


Observations  In this study, we have investigated the clinical and confocal features of five cases of histopathologically proven LP, and we have correlated the observed features with histopathological findings. The most characteristic criterion ...
