Skin and relative connective tissue • Dermatofibroma • Pilomatrixoma • Basal cell carcinoma • Melanocytic nevus 323Seborrheic keratosis
Dermatofibroma • fibroblast-like spindle cells • histiocytes • small blood vessels • overlying epidermis with elongated rete ridges and with increased basal melanin (dirty fingers)
Pilomatrixoma • uniform small basaloid cells at periphery • large squamous cells with gradual loss of nuclei (shadow cells) (older lesions show less basaloid cells and more shadow cells) • often associated granulomatous inflammation and calcification
Basal cell carcinoma • neoplastic cells similar to basal layer of epidermis, basophilic with high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio • nests typically have marked peripheral palisading • prominent fibroblastic stroma arranged around tumor lobules
Melanocytic nevus • nests of cohesive melanocytes, which are generally cuboidal and occasionally spindled, with inconspicuous nucleolus, variable melanin • individual melanocytes do not extend beyond nests at lateral margins • nests of similar size with rounded, sharp borders • little to no inflammation
Seborrheic keratosis • acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, and papillomatosis • well-circumscribed proliferation of basaloid cells completely replacing normal epidermis with horn pseudocysts • no dermal invasion • no mitoses, necrosis, ductal structures, or peripheral palisading • basal melanin common
