*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.
