These are aberrations that do not display signs of suspected malignant excisions or dermatitis:
Contents
Fixation
- Generally: Buffered 4% formaldehyde.[1]
Gross processing of skin excisions
Lesion size | |||
---|---|---|---|
<4 mm | 4 - 8 mm | 9 - 15 mm | |
Benign appearance | |||
Suspected malignancy |
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
Notes
- ↑ For a full list of contributors, see article history. Creators of images are attributed at the image description pages, seen by clicking on the images. See Patholines:Authorship for details.
- ↑ The excision examples show a normal mole (upper row, benign appearance) and a superficial basal cell carcinoma (lower row, suspected malignancy).
