Nonetheless, early recognition and treatment of malignant tumors of the eyelid margin is mandatory. Line\u2010field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC\u2010OCT) is a novel tool for the in vivo, real\u2010time skin imaging.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Objectives<\/jats:title>The aim of the study was to identify and analyze the LC\u2010OCT features of a series of eyelid margin growths and to correlate these features with the histopathological findings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>Patients with eyelid margin growths who were scheduled for lesion excision underwent LC\u2010OCT examination. Inclusion criteria were a challenging clinical aspect of the lesions and a clinical history of recent onset (up to 12 months). In all cases, the histopathological examination of the excised lesions was performed for the final diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>A total of 31 lesions located on the upper (13 cases) or lower (18 cases) eyelid margin from 28 consecutive patients (male\u00a0=\u00a015, female\u00a0=\u00a013; mean age: 64.7 years, range: 44\u201387 years) were evaluated and excised. The histopathologic diagnoses were nodular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (nine cases), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (three cases), compound nevus (four cases), dermal nevus (two cases), seborrheic keratosis (four cases), pyogenic granuloma (one case), trichilemmal cyst (three cases), and hidrocystoma (five cases). LC\u2010OCT allowed the in vivo recognition of the main microscopic features of the examined lesions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>LC\u2010OCT represents a promising tool for the evaluation of eyelid margin lesions. Advantages of non\u2010invasive diagnosis particularly relevant in such a sensitive region include a more correct planning of the treatment and, in case of surgery, the most appropriate surgical approach and, importantly, a correct timing of intervention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/srt.13559","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,4]],"date-time":"2024-01-04T06:02:01Z","timestamp":1704348121000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Line\u2010field confocal optical coherence tomography of eyelid margin growths: A case series"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Anna Elisa","family":"Verz\u00ec","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Clinic University of Catania Catania Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Russo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology University of Catania Catania Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niccol\u00f2","family":"Castellino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology University of Catania Catania Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosario","family":"Caltabiano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Surgical Sciences and Advanced Technologies \u201cG.F.
