- Abstract
The article discusses follicular induction characterized by aggregates of basaloid cells emerging from the undersurface of the epidermis and matching primitive follicular germs. It notes the case of 64-year-old Japanese female diagnosed with metastatic gastric cancer in the dermis with accompanying follicular induction in the overlying epidermis. Follicular induction is an epidermal change occurring in association with dermatofibroma and can also be accompanied by metastatic carcinoma.
