The aim of this study was to examine a case of pigmented\n CE<\/jats:styled-content>\n with multiple non\u2010invasive imaging techniques, to compare the obtained images with histopathology and to define their utility in an early diagnosis of the disease.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case report<\/jats:title>\n \n We performed dermoscopy, high\u2010frequency ultrasound (\n HFUS<\/jats:styled-content>\n ), in vivo and ex vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (\n RCM<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) of a pigmented\n CE<\/jats:styled-content>\n arising on the caesarean scar of a phototype\n IV<\/jats:styled-content>\n patient, along with histologic studies. Dermoscopy showed a greyish background and a brownish pigmentation.\n HFUS<\/jats:styled-content>\n shows well\u2010demarcated anechoic areas corresponding to ectopic endometrial tissue at histopathologic examination.\n RCM<\/jats:styled-content>\n and\n OCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n only showed the alterations of the epidermis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n High\u2010frequency ultrasound could represent a very useful tool for an early diagnosis of\n CE<\/jats:styled-content>\n and its usefulness could be tested in patients with unusual cyclical pain, even before skin lesion appearance.\n RCM<\/jats:styled-content>\n allowed the visualization of skin surface modification due to underlying endometriosic tissue. Dermoscopy showed a new aspect that was probably related to the mix of blood extravasation (ie, greyish background) and epidermal pigmentation (ie, brown pigmentation).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/srt.12431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,31]],"date-time":"2018-01-31T23:08:37Z","timestamp":1517440117000},"page":"309-312","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["New findings in non\u2010invasive imaging of cutaneous endometriosis: Dermoscopy, high\u2010frequency ultrasound and reflectance confocal microscopy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6691-4310","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L.","family":"Tognetti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit Department of Medical Surgical and Neuro Sciences University of Siena Siena Italy"},{"name":"Department of Medical Biotechnologies University of Siena Siena Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Cinotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit Department of Medical Surgical and Neuro Sciences University of Siena Siena Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Tonini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit Department of Medical Surgical and Neuro Sciences University of Siena Siena Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Habougit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomopathology Unit Department of Pathology University Hospital of St\u2010Etienne Saint Etienne France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Cambazard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit University Hospital of St\u2010Etienne Saint Etienne France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Rubegni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Unit Department of Medical Surgical and Neuro Sciences University of Siena Siena Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
