Tenascin expression in actinic keratosis

Background:  Tenascin is an extracellular matrix protein frequently expressed around neoplastic and non‐neoplastic lesions of the skin. Actinic keratoses (AKs) are intraepidermal neoplastic lesions of the sun‐exposed skin. They are classified according to the extension of dysplasia in four stages; they also present different histological varieties.
