Reflectance Confocal Microscopy

Lichenoid keratosis, also defined as benign lichenoid keratosis, was reclassified as lichen planus-like keratosis by Shapiro and Ackerman. Clinical and dermoscopic features of lichen planus-like keratosis can vary, often not providing useful and necessary information to perform an accurate diagnosis without performing a biopsy or histological examination. We describe 2 difficult to detect lichen planus-like keratosis cases in which we performed reflectance confocal microscopy. We underline the usefulness of this noninvasive diagnostic tool in the unclear cases of lichen planus-like keratosis.

Microscopic Features

Onychomycosis is a common fungal nail infection. Accurate diagnosis is critical as onychomycosis is transmissible between humans and impacts patients' quality of life. Combining clinical examination with mycological testing ensures accurate diagnosis. Conventional diagnostic techniques, including potassium hydroxide testing, fungal culture and histopathology of nail clippings, detect fungal species within nails. New diagnostic tools have been developed recently which either improve detection of onychomycosis clinically, including dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy and artificial intelligence, or mycologically, such as molecular assays. Dermoscopy is cost-effective and non-invasive, allowing clinicians to discern microscopic features of onychomycosis and fungal melanonychia. Reflectance confocal microscopy enables clinicians to observe bright filamentous septate hyphae at near histologic resolution by the bedside. Artificial intelligence may prompt patients to seek further assessment for nails that are suspicious for onychomycosis. This review evaluates the current landscape of diagnostic techniques for onychomycosis.
