In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy in a typical case of melasma Microscopia confocal reflectante in vivo em um caso típico de melasma

Abstract

Melasma is a common disorder of hypermelanosis that affects mainly young and middle-aged women of Fitzpatrick's phototypes III-V. The disease significantly impacts their lives. In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy, a spreading technology for the noninvasive evaluation of the skin up to the papillary dermis, provides real-time en face images with cellular resolution. We present a case of melasma with in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy findings closely correlated to the histopathological features described in the literature.O melasma é um distúrbio pigmentar caracterizado por hipermelanose, que afeta principalmente mulheres jovens e de meia-idade com fototipos III-V de Fitzpatrick e acarreta em impacto significativo na qualidade de vida das mesmas. A microscopia confocal reflectante in vivo, uma tecnologia em expansão voltada para análise da pele até a derme superior, proporciona imagens en face em tempo real com resolução celular. Apresentamos um caso de melasma com achados na microscopia confocal reflectante in vivo fortemente correlacionados com as características histopatológicas descritas na literatura.
