! Generally/Not otherwise specified
| Typical findings:<ref name="Alsaad2005"/>
*Mild inflammatory cell infiltrate along the dermoepidermal junction (black arrow in image)
*Vacuolization within the basal keratinocytes (white arrow in image)
*Often necrotic, predominantly basal, individual keratinocytes, manifesting as colloid or Civatte bodies

! Acute graft-versus-host-disease

*Vacuolar alteration of various severity, from focal or diffuse vacuolation of the basal keratinocytes (grade I), to separation at the dermoepidermal junction (grade III)
*Involvement of the hair follicle<ref name="Alsaad2005"/>
*Rarely eosinophils<ref name="Alsaad2005"/>

*Fibrinoid necrosis at the dermoepidermal junction
*Liquefactive degeneration and atrophy of the epidermis
*Mucin deposition in the reticular dermis
*Edema, small hemorrhages
*Mild and mainly lymphocytic infiltrate in the upper dermis
*Fibrinoid material in the dermis around capillary blood vessels, on collagen and in the interstitium
*In non-bullous cases, perivascular and interstitial neutrophils are sometimes present in the upper dermis, with damage to blood vessels
