Squamous cell carcinoma in situ: under the microscope, we see full thickness epidermal atypia (high mitoses) and no invasion through the basement membrane. #dermatopathology #pathology #dermatology #microscopy #histology #MedEd #medicine #skincancer #skin

So, applying moisturizer regularly may reduce circulating pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and ultimately delay/attenuate development of chronic diseases? Wow. #dermatopathology #dermatology #pathology #moisturizer #chronicdisease #medicine https://t.co/3pI4jn3eCy
