BACKGROUND/AIMS: Herein, we report a case of microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC), which we correlated and evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and conventional H&E histology. METHODS: A commercially available OCT scanner was used for imaging. Several multi-slice images were obtained from the central portion of the lesion. Correlation of OCT findings with histology was performed retrospectively. RESULTS: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma showed characteristic criteria, which were divided into superficial and sub-epidermal findings. CONCLUSION: The use of OCT can visualize characteristic criteria of MAC, thus enabling prompt diagnosis before surgery.
