Slide 186: Verruca Vulgaris (A Wart)
 |
This slide consists almost
exclusively of epidermis. There is very little dermis, still this
specimen shows nicely the features one of the most common viral induced
skin lesions.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |
 |
This case shows a cup
shaped lesion of the skin with many very odd looking cells containing blue
or red granules. These inclusions are the little packages of viruses, ready
to hop to someone else or somewhere else on the person. We use the term
"kissing lesions" occasionally to apply to two verrucae on the same person.
What do you suppose this applies to? No it has nothing to do with romantic
activity. |
