title: New histopathological classification of actinic keratosis (incipient intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma).
abstract: Actinic keratoses are common, sun-induced lesions that have historically been regarded as "premalignant." Evidence supports their inclusion along a continuum with squamous cell carcinoma. We propose a classification analogous to that used for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
