How is Basal Cell Degeneration Identified Histologically?
Histological examination is crucial for identifying basal cell degeneration. Under a microscope, pathologists can observe histopathological features such as vacuolization, nuclear atypia, and increased apoptotic bodies. Special stains and immunohistochemistry techniques may be employed to further characterize the extent of cellular damage and to identify any associated inflammatory infiltrates or fibrosis.
