“…Metastatic deposits may be disarmingly bland on microscopy and a close inspection is required to detect the presence of atypical cells often in an Indian file in between collagen bundles. [66] This appearance is particularly true of carcinoma breast [ Figure 6]. Immunostains with specific markers are needed for diagnosis in all such instances.…”

'Invisible dermatoses' is a concept which has not received wide recognition, but is nevertheless very important both clinically and histologically. The term invisible dermatoses has been used in two contexts: a) Diseases, with out definite clinical features, and are therefore "invisible" to the clinician, but yet can be diagnosed by special investigations. b) Dermatoses which present with definite and obvious clinical features, but subtle or hidden histological features and are therefore "invisible" histologically. Diagnosis of such diseases represents a great challenge to both the dermatologist and dermatopathologist. This article discusses such diseases and offers clues and tools for their diagnosis. Diagnosis of such 'Invisible dermatoses' needs proper awareness, recognition of subtle features, special stains, special investigations such as immunofluorescence and histochemistry and proper clinicopathological correlation.

“…Sweet syndrome associated with malignancy consists of tender erythematous pseudovesiculated plaques, fever, and neutrophilic leukocytosis, which can mimic cellulitis. Cutaneous metastasis (tumor emboli) from solid tumors ranging from 0.7% to 9% can mimic cellulitis (34)(35)(36) (Fig. 3).…”
