Utility of optical coherence tomography in basal cell naevus syndrome: A case report

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a useful non‐invasive diagnostic tool for diagnosing and monitoring treatment of basal cell carcinomas. We describe the use of OCT in a patient with Basal Cell Naevus Syndrome. Through measuring tumour depth on OCT, management of individual tumours was triaged a...

description Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a useful non‐invasive diagnostic tool for diagnosing and monitoring treatment of basal cell carcinomas. We describe the use of OCT in a patient with Basal Cell Naevus Syndrome. Through measuring tumour depth on OCT, management of individual tumours was triaged accordingly using 0.4 mm tumour depth as a cut‐off for surgical and non‐surgical management. OCT has potential to reduce unnecessary excisions and associated morbidity in this population of patients.
