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.

Identification of subtle disease-specific histologic changes may be of significant help in early diagnosis of acantholytic skin diseases. Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by vesiculoerosive lesions favoring the intertriginous areas. Histologically, HHD is characterized by full-thickness acantholysis of the spinous layer in association with dyskeratosis of individual keratinocytes; a pemphigus vulgaris-like suprabasal pattern of acantholysis may be observed in the earliest stages of disease.

However, these immunotherapies are commonly associated with idiosyncratic cutaneous adverse reactions. Thus, recognition and awareness of these reactions are necessary.
