Abstract
Three cases of basal cell epithelioma were studied with light and electron microscopy. Myofibroblasts, some containing melanosomes, were observed in the stroma of the tumors. The significance of these cells in the tumor is briefly discussed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
