Keratin pearl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Epithelial pearl)

A keratin pearl is a keratinized structure found in regions where abnormal squamous cells form concentric layers. Also called an epithelial pearl, due to a location among squamous cells of the epithelium, this type of structure is sometimes seen with squamous cell carcinoma.[1]
