Lesions of the Skin

  • W. Wallace Park
Chapter

Abstract

The skin, with its epidermis, adnexa, pigment cells, corium and immediately related subcutaneous tissue, provides histologically borderline problems in plenty. Those posed by the stratified squamous epithelium of the epidermis are supplemented by the many others, essentially identical in such areas as larynx and cervix uteri, to the point where stratified squamous epithelium in general has fair claim to be regarded as the provider of more ‘benign or malignant?’ problems than any other tissue.
