Analysis of Dermoscopic Characteristics in Patients Treated with Autologous Non-Cultured Epidermal Cell Suspension Transplantation: A Prospective Study
Description
Figure 2. Pigmentation of the transplantation area before and after the autologous non-cultured epidermal cell suspension (NCES). A male patient with vitiligo on the ankle was treated with NCES. (A-J) Clinical manifestation (Figure A-E) and the image of Wood’s lamp examination (Figure F-J) from the baseline to week 24 was shown. (K) Dermoscopic features of vitiligo before NCES showed dotted vessels (blue arrow), reduced pigment network and diffuse white glow with well-defined border (red arrow). (L) Dermoscopic picture at week 4 showed intra-lesional erythema, telangiectasia (red arrow) and perilesional pigmentation (blue arrow). (M) Dermoscopic picture at week 8 showed altered pigment network with reticulate pigmentation (blue arrow). (N) Dermoscopy with pearly white globules (blue arrow) and perilesional erythema (red arrow) was seen at week 16. (O) Dermoscopy at week 24 revealed pearly white globules, reticulate pigmentation (blue arrow) and poorly defined border (red arrow).
