Digital pathology is a dynamic, image-based environment that enables the acquisition, management and interpretation of pathology information generated from a digitized glass slide. Digital pathology is rapidly gaining momentum as a proven and essential technology that is helping to reduce laboratory expenses, improve operational efficiency, enhance productivity, and improve treatment decisions and patient care. It is used worldwide in drug development, reference lab, hospital, and academic medical center settings. Applications include education, research, image analysis, archival and retrieval, LIS/LIMS integration, secondary consultations, and virtual slide sharing.

This case presents a diagnostic puzzle from the skin: a slowly enlarging erythematous papule in a 62-year-old man.

Histology shows a sharply demarcated epidermal proliferation with clear-staining keratinocytes, neutrophils in the stratum corneum, and PAS-positive cytoplasmic glycogen.

What’s the most likely diagnosis?
