Papular acantholytic dyskeratosis (PAD) of the vulva is an uncommon benign condition characterized by multiple hyperkeratotic papules in the anogenital region. First described in 1984, PAD belongs to the spectrum of focal acantholytic dyskeratoses and shares histopathological features with Darier disease and Hailey-Hailey disease. Despite its persistence, PAD is benign, requiring only reassurance in many cases.

Introduction: Focal acantholytic dyskeratosis is a distinctive histological pattern first described by Ackerman in 1972, consisting of focal suprabasal clefts in the epidermis and dyskeratotic cells at all levels of the epidermis with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. The first case of subungual acantholytic dyskeratosis acanthoma (ADA) was reported in 1990. This subungual variant is a very rare entity.

DEK::AFF2 carcinoma is an emerging entity of the sinonasal tract and skull base, commonly exhibiting exophytic and endophytic papillary growth, complex anastomosing trabeculae, monotonous cytomorphology, acantholytic change, and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils. A subset displays overt infiltration and high-grade features akin to non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. Glandular differentiation may also be rarely present.

Background: Focal acantholytic dyskeratosis (FAD) and epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) are common incidental epidermal histologic findings within dysplastic nevi biopsies. We evaluate whether areas of FAD and EHK within dysplastic nevi biopsies stain with immunostains used to characterize melanocytic neoplasms.
Methods: In this case series, a natural language search of histopathology reports from our institution in the past year (2020-2021) identified dysplastic nevus biopsies with concurrent FAD and/or EHK.
