Ultrastructural study of focal epithelial hyperplasia.
Biopsy material from two young Israeli patients with focal epithelial hyperplasia revealed acanthosis, papillomatosis, and the presence of many epithelial cells with a clear cytoplasm in the basale and stratum spinosum. Many of the inclusions seen with the electron microscope had the morphologic appearance of lysosomes, but definite identification must await cytochemical evidence.
