What are the Histological Features of Benign Lesions?
Benign lesions generally demonstrate well-differentiated cells and lack atypical features such as pleomorphism or high mitotic activity. For instance, nevi or moles are characterized by nests of melanocytes in the dermal-epidermal junction. Seborrheic keratosis is noted for its thickened epidermis with horn cysts. Understanding these features helps in differentiating benign lesions from their malignant counterparts.
