The sections show skin with mild patchy chronic inflammation, consisting predominantly of lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction. The epidermis matures to the surface, has rete ridges and is of a normal thickness. Focally, parakeratosis is present. No significant nuclear atypia is identified. | |||
=====Thinned epidermis===== | |||
The sections show skin with mild patchy chronic inflammation, consisting predominantly of | |||
lymphocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction. Eosinophils are not readily apparent. | |||
The epidermis matures to the surface; however, it is thinned and focally flattened | |||
appearing. No hyperkeratosis or parakeratosis is apparent. The superficial dermis is | |||
minimally hyalinized focally. No significant nuclear atypia is identified. | |||
