Figure

  • Fig. 1 A slightly elevated, well-demarcated, erythematous round plaque approximately 1 cm in diameter.

  • Fig. 2 (A) Epidermal atrophy, loss of the rete ridge pattern, vacuolar degeneration of basal keratinocytes, and perivascular and perifollicular lymphohistiocyte infiltration, were evident (H&E, ×40). (B) A suprabasilar cleft consisting of acantholytic and dyskeratotic cells was observed (H&E, ×100). The intensity of SERCA2 staining was similar in normal (C) and incidental focal acantholytic dyskeratosis (IFAD) tissue (D). The SPCA1 staining intensity was reduced in IFAD epidermal tissue (F) compared to normal tissue (E) (C, E: normal tissue, D, F: IFAD tissue; ×100).
