Which skin pathology is depicted in this slide? [1]
Pemphigus valguris:
* pemphigus shows linear/granular deposition of immunoglobulins (Igs) and C3 in the epidermal ICS
What is this skin pathology depicted? [1]
pemphigus vulgaris show suprabasal epidermal acantholysis
What is this skin pathology? [1]
Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis
Fibrin deposition can be identified within the vessel wall
The perivascular inflammatory infiltrate is comprised predominantly of neutrophils but eosinophils are also present.
What is this skin pathology? [1]
Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis:
Fibrin deposition involving the wall of the dermal vessels entirely associated with leukocytoclasis

Molluscum contagiosum: water warts
What skin pathology is depicted? [1]
Molluscum contagiosum
What is the skin pathology depicted? [1]
Molluscum contagiosum
It is a viral skin infection caused by a large DNA pox virus with an incubation period of 2 to 7 weeks. The lesions consist of multiple pearly round papules measuring 3 to 5 mm in size with central umbilication.
What is the skin pathology depicted? [1]
Molluscum contagiosum
There is lobular hyperplasia of epidermis into the dermis resulting in a cup-shaped lesion. The basal layers appear normal, but the keratinocytes of stratum malpighii become enlarged and acquire eosinophilic inclusion bodies - Henderson-Patterson bodies that contain virus particles.
What skin pathology is depicted? [1]
Pityriasis versicolour; Pityrosporum orbiculare
What is this skin pathology depicted? [1]
Pityriasis versicolour
What are the arrows pointing at here? [2]
Scabies
Shave skin biopsy showing hyperkeratosis and mild epidermal spongiosis. There are numerous mites, eggs and egg shells within the stratum corneum. There is a mild superficial lymphocytic infiltrate in the papillary dermis (20x).
What skin pathology is depicted here? [1]
What layer of the skin is depicted?
