Description

Figure. 3 - Microphotographs of hypermelanized skin sections. A: Pigmented cell proliferation in the superficial dermis (stratum laxum) (arrows). H-E staining. Insert: distribution of melanophores (arrows) in normal pigmented skin. H-E staining. B: Hyperplasia of melanophores in superficial dermis forming a thick heavily pigmented layer beneath the epidermis (arrow). H-E staining. C: Foci of hyperplasic melanophores densely clustered. H-E staining. D: Positive argentaffin reaction of melanin granules. FM staining. dd: deep dermis; ep: epidermis; sc: scale. Scale bars: A, B = 50 µm; C = 20 µm; D = 100 µm.
