			Comment:
			The tissue received is very superficial and precludes further diagnostic classification.

			The dermal-epidermal junction is not seen in the planes of section. The differential diagnosis includes (but is not limited to) hypertrophic actinic keratosis and well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Complete excision of the lesion is recommended.
