Early diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma-a cutaneous neoplasia with high incidence-can bring great benefits to the patient. Often, slightly pigmented lesions, small initial lesions, and superficial lesions can represent a clinical and dermoscopic diagnostic challenge for not having the typical findings of this neoplasia. In such cases, optical coherence tomography-a promising technology in dermatology-is an auxiliary, non-invasive resource that can be incorporated into the clinical practice.
