Melanocytes in clear cell acanthoma.
The presence of melanocytes in 11 clear cell acanthoma cases was investigated by silver impregnation. Melanocytes were always present, their density showing great variability from case to case and within each individual neoplasm. The possible existence of a pigmented counterpart to clear cell acanthoma is discussed.
