AB Many  cutaneous  biopsies  are  performed  to  evaluate  a  lesion’s  malignant  potential.  Fortunately,  most  of  these  tumors  are  benign.  The  distinction  is  important,  however,  since  significant  surgical  procedures  may  be  needed  for  some  tumors  but  are  inappropriate  for  others.  Further,  some  of  these  lesions  may  indicate  underlying  conditions  that  require  additional  evaluation  and  treatment.  For  these,  as  well  as  other  reasons,  it  is  imperative  that  dermatopathologists  seek  to  accurately  classify  those  epidermal  tumors  that  they  are  called  on  to  evaluate.
