Clarion and Crystal-Clear Cell Acanthoma Reviewed

Abstract

Clear cell acanthoma was portrayed primarily by Degos [1]. Clear cell acanthoma is also referred to as Degos’ acanthoma or pale cell acanthoma and is cogitated as an asymptomatic, benign epidermal tumor devoid of gender predilection. Clear cell acanthoma defines a distinct entity on clinical and histological evaluation. Of obscure etiology, the disorder is possibly engendered by inflammation. Apart from exemplifying a benign epidermal tumor, it can be contemplated as a reactive inflammatory dermatosis. Definitive diagnosis of clear cell acanthoma can be challenging as the lesions simulate several benign and malignant skin conditions. Traumatic or drug induced genesis of the neoplasm lacks approval and the disease is of an essentially unknown pathogenesis [1,2].
