*Cells in the superficial/mid dermis that are: | |||
**Lymphocyte-like with more cytoplasm that is granular. | |||
***Cells may have spindled or stellate morphology. | |||
***Tend to be more abundant around vessels. | |||
*+/-Eosinophils (common). | |||
*+/-Edema - often prominent; gives cells a white halo. | |||
Notes: | |||
*Lymphocyte vs. mast cell: | |||
**Lymphocytes = round; mast cells = ovoid. | |||
