Incidental focal acantholytic dyskeratosis (IFAD) has been described for various cutaneous lesions. A 58-year-old man presented with a purple colored, 5 mm crusted papule on the back. An excisional biopsy was performed and histopathological examination showed angiomatous tissue occurring in a discrete mass. It was enclosed by a collarette of acanthotic epidermis. The angiomatous tissue comprised a variably dilated network of blood-filled capillaries, which was surrounded by myxoid stroma. Hyperkeratosis, acantholysis, dyskeratosis and intraepidermal clefts were also focally present. Correlation of the clinical features and the histopathology results established a diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma showing IFAD.
