Follicular induction
Introduction

Follicular (trichoepithelial) induction affects basal layers of the epidermis and may resemble bazalioma. It sometimes occures over dermatofibromas, in epidermal nevi and other tumors.

Histology

The epidermis is thickened, the basal layer is prominent, keratinocytes are basophilic, palisading. Differential diagnosis against superficial bazalioma is sometimes difficult.
