The epithelial-stromal junction of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has been investigated at the electron microscope level. The fibroblast-like cells surrounding the epithelial nests of BCC appear to be myofibroblasts. According to the present view of the function of myofibroblasts, their presence around BCC could be related to the slow invasiveness of this tumour.

Abstract
The epithelial-stromal junction of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has been investigated at the electron microscope level. The fibroblast-like cells surrounding the epithelial nests of BCC appear to be myofibroblasts. According to the present view of the function of myofibroblasts, their presence around BCC could be related to the slow invasiveness of this tumour.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
