Abstract

Epidermis—namely the epithelium of skin—consists of keratinocytes, melanocytes, Merkel cells, and Langerhans cells. In this chapter, only the benign tumors of keratinocytes (real proliferations) or hamartomas (non-neoplastic malformations) with epidermal differentiation will be discussed. However, epidermal tumors causing dysplasia and benign tumors with adnexal differentiation are not included in this chapter. Epidermal proliferations induced by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection (verrucae) are also not included.
