[color=#1C2837][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=4]Acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthoma- which I believe is within the spectrum of a warty dyskeratoma, the only difference being that the latter is cup shaped, presumed to be of follicular derivation.[/size][/font][/color]

[size=4]I favor acantholytic acanthoma over warty dyskeratoma because the latter is expected to present clinically as a verrucous papule / nodule rather than a raised one, and its microscopic silhouette shows also an endophytic pattern of growth.[/size]

I read in Weedon ' book that acantholytic acanthoma has no dyskeratosis ?????any explanation.
Is the dyskeratotic variant equal to warty dyskeratoma ???

My diagnosis was warty dyskeratoma. I thought this lesion was interesting because if its mimicry of pemphigus. Thanks, everyone, for your comments.

Thanks Dr. Hurt. Can you explain why this is best regarded as a warty dyskeratoma rather than an Acantholytic Dyskeratotic Acanthoma?
