Histology

The tumor is located within the dermis, but communicates with the epidermis by broad bands of tumorous epithelium. the cells are basaloid: roundish, regular, paler than normal keratinocytes. The borders between the tumor and the epidermis is usually easy to recognize. Small ducts, small foci of keratinisation and areas of regression with nuclear pyknosis are usually present.
