Abstract
Histopathologic findings in skin biopsies are often subtle and easy to miss. In addition, different lymphomas may demonstrate a wide variety (and combination) of microscopic changes in one or more layers of the skin (epidermis, dermis, and panniculus). A checklist is provided to help ensure consistency and completeness in evaluating a skin biopsy with a lymphoid infiltrate.
