Dyskeratosis and the dyskeratoses.

C Steffen

    The American Journal of Dermatopathology
    |August 1, 1988
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dyskeratotic cells, initially misidentified by Darier, are reclassified as necrotic keratinocytes. This redefinition clarifies understanding of various skin conditions previously grouped under "dyskeratoses."

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Cell Biology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • The historical understanding of dyskeratotic cells, as described by Darier, has been inconsistent.
    • Darier initially proposed infectious origins before attributing them to abnormal keratinization.
    • He broadly categorized diverse skin conditions, including inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic diseases, under the umbrella term 'dyskeratoses'.

    Discussion:

    • This paper argues that the lack of consistent definition for dyskeratotic cells and 'dyskeratoses' stems from Darier's initial flawed concepts.
    • The term 'dyskeratotic cell' is re-evaluated and classified as a specific type of necrotic keratinocyte.
    • This reclassification provides a more accurate pathological framework for understanding these cellular changes.

    Key Insights:

    • Dyskeratotic cells are a form of necrotic keratinocyte, not infectious agents or solely indicative of abnormal keratinization as initially proposed.
    • The historical grouping of diverse skin diseases under 'dyskeratoses' lacked a unified pathological basis due to conceptual errors.
    • A precise definition of dyskeratotic cells as necrotic keratinocytes offers clarity in dermatological diagnosis.

    Outlook:

    • Further research can explore the specific molecular mechanisms leading to keratinocyte necrosis in various dermatoses.
    • This reclassification may facilitate more targeted diagnostic approaches and therapeutic strategies for skin conditions exhibiting these cellular features.
    • Comparative studies of necrotic keratinocytes across different pathologies can refine our understanding of disease processes.
