The sections show squamous mucosa with a mild chronic inflammatory infiltrate that consists predominantly of lymphocytes. There is mild nuclear enlargement and intracellular edema. The nuclear membranes are regular. No nuclear hyperchromasia is apparent. No mitotic activity is readily apparent.

<pre>
VULVA, BIOPSY:
- SQUAMOUS MUCOSA WITH MILD HYPERGRANULOSIS AND A THIN COMPACT LAYER OF KERATIN.
- NO SIGNIFICANT INFLAMMATION.

=====Micro=====
The sections show a small piece of squamous mucosa with mild hypergranulosis and a compact keratin layer. The epithelial component is not significantly thickened but contains rare intraepithelial lymphocytes and has minimal edema. The subepithelial tissue has rare scattered lymphocytes and a mild prominence of small blood vessels. No subepithelial fibrosis is appreciated. The epithelium has no atypia. No mitotic figures are readily apparent.

====Micro====
The sections show a polypoid fragment of skin with epithelium on three sides, acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. Koilocytic changes (mild nuclear enlargement, perinuclear clearing) are seen focally. There is mild basilar nuclear enlargement and hyperchromasia.  The epithelium matures to the surface and a granular layer is present.
 
=====Seborrheic keratosis-like=====
The sections show skin with acanthosis with papillomatous features (round bulbous rete ridges, acanthosis with penetrating fibrovascular cores) pseudohorn cysts, parakeratosis and hyperkeratosis.  There is no significant basal nuclear atypia. There are no mitoses and no melanocytic nests. There is mild dermal inflammation. There is no solar elastosis. Pigment incontinence is present focally.
