Isolated epidermolytic acanthoma. A histological study

Abstract

A solitary scrotal lesion of isolated epidermolytic acanthoma was studied by optical microscopy. The lesion displayed typical granular degeneration. The tumor parenchyma comprised several foci extending deep in the cutis to the continuation of the invaginated epithelium. Serial sections showed the parenchyma was free from acrosyringium and epidermis proper. The findings with hematoxylin-eosin stain and Fontana-Masson stain indicated that the tumor had originated from portion B of the hair follicle.
