Keywords: Elastosis perforans serpiginosa, Histopathology-image, Pathology
Low power of histology of elastosis perforans serpiginosa demonstrates a column of keratotic debris forming a focal invagination through a hyperplastic epidermis (figure 1). Closer inspection identifies material undergoing transepidermal elimination (figure 2). Brightly eosinophilic fibres are seen within the extruded material, mixed with keratinous debris and a mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate (figures 3, 4).
