Benign non-inflammatory skin conditions
Author:
Mikael Häggström [note 1]
These are aberrations that do not display signs of suspected malignant excisions or dermatitis:
Contents
Fixation
- Generally: Buffered 4% formaldehyde.[1]
Gross processing
<4 mm | 4 - 8 mm | 9 - 15 mm |
---|---|---|
In table above, each top image shows recommended lines for cutting out slices to be submitted for further processing. Bottom image shows which side of the slice that should be put to microtomy. Dashed lines here mean that either side could be used. Further information: Gross processing of skin excisions
Microscopic evaluation
The primary objective is to determine the location, and then the most likely cell type of the aberration:
Dermis
Sebaceous glands
Sebaceous hyperplasia: Multiple, mature sebaceous lobules attached to the central dilated duct in the upper dermis.[3]
Fatty tissue
