Abstract

Poroma is skin cancer that arises from the sweat gland cells. Its diagnosis could be difficult. Line-field optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a novel imaging technique that has shown promise in the diagnosis and monitoring of various skin conditions. We report a case of poroma diagnosed by LC-OCT.

Keywords: LC-OCT; eccrine poroma.
