A case of multiple clear cell acanthomas in a 64-year-old woman is reported. The clinical and histological findings of this rare entity are consistent with the hypothesis that clear cell acanthomas are benign epidermal tumors. An ultrastructural study was performed with special emphasis on the melanocytic-keratinocytic interaction.
