| =====Well differentiated=====
| |
| The sections show well-circumscribed dermal nests of basaloid cells with peripheral palisading,
| |
| surrounded by a dense fibrous stroma. The basaloid cells have distinct nucleoli. Focally, the
| |
| basaloid nests contain small clusters of cells with abundant pale, vacuolated, fluffy-appearing
| |
| cytoplasm (sebocytes). Mitotic activity is minimal.
| |
| | |
| There is no artefactual clefting between the stroma and basaloid cell nests. The epidermis
| |
| matures to the surface and does not have basal atypia.
| |
| | |
| The lesion is completely excised in the plane of section.
| |
| | |
| =====Poor differentiated=====
| |
| The sections show well-circumscribed dermal nests of basaloid cells with peripheral
| |
| palisading, surrounded by a dense fibrous stroma, that extend from the skin surface almost
| |
| to the adipose tissue. The basaloid cells have moderate nuclear atypia with occasional monstrous cells. Mitotic activity is abundant and atypical mitoses are present. The nests contain rare cells with pale, fluffy-appearing cytoplasm, suggestive of sebocytes.

| The sections show well-circumscribed dermal nests of basaloid cells with peripheral palisading surrounded by a dense fibrous stroma. There is no artefactual clefting between the stroma and basaloid cell nests. Mitotic activity is minimal. Smaller hyperchromatic spindled-to-epithelioid cells in clusters (papillary-mesenchymal bodies) are found within the basaloid cells nests.

| The epidermis show maturation to the surface and does not have basal atypia.
