Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a noninvasive imaging technique that allows visualization of the epidermis and papillary dermis with cellular-level resolution. Granulomatous reactions such as sarcoidosis could be assessed using RCM. The identification of bright beaded-like structures that could correspond to reticulin fibers overlying granulomas, in association with dermoscopy, may be a very useful approach in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis and for the differentiation of this granulomatous entity with superficial cutaneous metastasis.
反射式共聚焦显微镜(RCM)是一种非侵入性成像技术,可在细胞水平分辨率下实现对表皮和乳头层真皮的可视化。诸如结节病等肉芽肿反应可通过RCM进行评估。结合皮肤镜检查,识别可能对应于肉芽肿上方网状纤维的明亮串珠状结构,可能是诊断结节病以及鉴别这种肉芽肿性病变与浅表皮肤转移瘤的非常有用的方法。
