Epidermotropic lesions: a review.
Epidermotropism describes the spread of cells of lymphocytic, epithelial melanocytic, neuroendocrine, histiocytic or muscular origin into the epidermis from an underlying dermal or subcutaneous pathology, that may be primary cutaneous or metastatic. In this review, we aim to discuss the differential diagnosis of epidermotropic lesions and highlight the histological and immunohistochemical characteristics that can help in their differentiation.
