Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen's disease)	Usually asymptomatic			Well-demarcated, scaly patch or plaque	Hyperkeratotic, or ulcerative lesions	Lesions are often erythematous but can also be skin colored or pigmented.	none	Any cutaneous surface, including the head, neck, trunk, extremities, oral mucosa, shoulders, chest and back	In fair-skinned individuals, SCCs most commonly arise in sites frequently exposed to the sun In black individuals, common sites for SCC include the legs, anus, and areas of chronic inflammation or scarring	Keratinocytic dysplasia involving the full thickness of the epidermis without infiltration of atypical cells into the dermis The keratinocytes are pleomorphic with hyperchromatic nuclei, and numerous mitoses are present.	SCC in situ lesions tend to grow slowly, enlarging over the course of years
Invasive squamous cell carcinoma	Usually asymptomatic		White circles, keratin, blood spots, and white structureless zones	Well-differentiated lesions usually appear as indurated or firm, hyperkeratotic papules, plaques, or nodules	Poorly differentiated lesions are usually fleshy, soft, granulomatous papules or nodules that lack the hyperkeratosis that is often seen in well-differentiated lesions	Poorly differentiated tumors may have ulceration, hemorrhage, or areas of necrosis.	none	same as above	same as above	same as above	same as above
Keratoacanthoma	Usually asymptomatic		White circles, keratin, blood spots, and white structureless zones	Initial lesion: small pink macule Later: papular quality and eventually forms a circumscribed nodule.	The periphery of the nodule tends to be skin-colored or mildly erythematous and may have accompanying telangiectasias	The center of the nodule typically demonstrates a prominent keratinous core.	Skin color Ultraviolet radiation Genetics Drug exposure (BRAF inhibitors) Trauma (surgery, laser therapy, cryotherapy or accidental trauma) Chemical carcinogens (tar, pitch, polyaromatic hydrocarbons) Human papillomavirus infection	Develops on sun-exposed areas of the skin. The face (especially the eyelids, nose, cheek, and lower lip), neck, hands, and arms are common sites for involvement	a history of rapid growth within weeks favors this diagnosis	Epidermal hyperplasia with large eosinophilic keratinocytes Central invagination with a keratotic core (in later stages) "Lipping" or "buttressing" of the epidermis over the peripheral rim of the central keratotic plug Sharp demarcation between the tumor and the surrounding stroma Mixed inflammatory infiltrate in the dermis	It is controversial whether keratoacanthomas represent a subtype of well-differentiated SCC or a separate entity
Merkel cell carcinoma	Usually asymptomatic		Milky red areas; linear, irregular vessels; and polymorphous vessels	rapidly growing, painless, firm, nontender, shiny, flesh-colored or bluish-red, intracutaneous nodule	No more additional findings	No more additional findings	Older patients with light skin tones	Starts on areas of skin exposed to the sun Most frequent locations for the primary tumor are head and neck, upper limbs and shoulder, lower limbs and hip, and trunk		Strands or nests of monotonously uniform, round, blue cells, containing large basophilic nuclei with powdery dispersed chromatin and inconspicuous nucleoli, and minimal cytoplasm Single-cell necrosis, frequent mitoses, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, and epidermal involvement via pagetoid spread.	Blue-red, dome-shaped nodule
Nodular basal cell carcinoma	Usually asymptomatic			Pearly papule with telangiectasias	Pink or flesh-colored papule	No more additional findings	none	Typically presents on the face	May have a "rolled" border, where the periphery is more raised than the middle.		Ulceration is frequent, and the term "rodent ulcer" refers to these ulcerated nodular BCCs
Superficial basal cell carcinoma				Scaly patch	Erythematous lesion	No more additional findings				large, hyperchromatic, oval nuclei and little cytoplasm well differentiated and cells appear histologically similar to basal cells of the epidermis
Prurigo nodules	Usually asymptomatic			Firm, dome-shaped and itchy	ranging in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters and often symmetrically distributed	Nodules can be flesh-colored, erythematous, or brown/black	none	Extensor surfaces of the arms and legs and on the trunk Upper back, abdomen, and sacrum	Worsened by heat, sweating, or irritation from clothing	Thick, compact orthohyperkeratosis Irregular epidermal hyperplasia or pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia Focal parakeratosis with irregular acanthosis Diminished nerve fiber density A nonspecific dermal infiltrate containing lymphocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, and neutrophils	Nodules range in number from few to hundreds upper midback area is usually spared
Common nevus			Comma-shaped or curved vessels Structureless skin-colored to light brown background pigmentation Residual brown globules (clods) or brown thick circles, mainly located around the hair follicles can sometimes be seen	Dome-shaped, usually nonpigmented or hypopigmented nodules with a smooth surface	Terminal hairs are often present
Blue nevus			Structureless blue pigmentation Structureless blue and white or blue and brown on some occasions	Bluish macules or papules				Head and neck, Dorsal aspect of the distal extremities Sacral area
Spitz nevus
Solar lentigo
Lentigo Maligna
Lentigo Maligna Melanoma
Sebaceous hyperplasia
Lichen planus-like keratosis
Seborrheic keratosis
Actinic keratosis
Nodular malignant melanoma	Usually asymptomatic			Lump that has been rapidly growing over the past weeks	No more additional findings	No more additional findings	none			Cells proliferate downwards through the skin (vertical growth)	Two-thirds arise in normal skin, the rest in existing moles Genetic component in some cases with a positive family history
Amelanotic melanoma	Usually asymptomatic			Color usually pink, purple or normal skin color	Usually have an asymmetrical shape with an irregular border	Red, nonspecific lesion with slightly elevated borders					Do not make melanin, so lesions are not pigmented
Sebaceous cell carcinoma				Yellow-nodule							Suspected due to evidence of eyelash loss
Actinic keratoses	Pain			Hyperkeratosis	Erythema	less pigmentation, and tend to be somewhat smaller in size.
Pyogenic granuloma				Rapidly growing	Red, dome-shaped	Friable papule with a collarette of scale
Bowenoid papulosis				multiple, red- to brown-colored, small papules that							primarily arise on genitals induced by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
Psoriasis	Flaking, inflammation			Thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin							Chronic condition
Pyoderma gangrenosum				Purulent ulcer	Ragged and violaceous border
Sebaceous Hyperplasia				Lesions can be single or multiple lesions	Yellowish, soft, small papules on the face	Usually on the nose, cheeks, and forehead
Allergic Contact Dermatitis	Itchy rash			Red rash							Not contagious
Atopic Dermatitis	Itchy rash			Red rash	Fever						Chronic and sometimes accompanied by asthma
Juvenile xanthogranuloma				Reddened, yellowish-tan color of lesions	Slightly raised bumps						Typically
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma											Mycosis fungoides
Epithelioma cuniculatum							Increased size				Verrucous carcinoma on the plantar foot

SCC in situ: Frequently, there is associated thickening of the epidermis (acanthosis), as well as hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis of the stratum corneum. In contrast to SCC in situ, actinic keratoses demonstrate only partial-thickness epidermal dysplasia.
