This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
Many cutaneous conditions require a skin biopsy for confirmation of the diagnosis. With several of these conditions there are features within the cells contained in the skin biopsy specimen that have elements in their cytoplasm or nucleus that have a characteristic appearance unique to the condition. These elements are termed inclusion bodies.
