Many skin conditions affect the human integumentary system—the organ system covering the entire surface of the body and composed of skin, hair, nails, and related muscle and glands. [1] The major function of this system is as a barrier against the external environment. [2]

Many skin conditions require a skin biopsy for confirmation of the diagnosis. With several of these conditions there are features within the cells contained in the skin biopsy specimen that have elements in their cytoplasm or nucleus that have a characteristic appearance unique to the condition. These elements are termed inclusion bodies.
