Figure 1. XY-FISH on caesarean scar showing male cells (XY) in epidermis. (A) H&E staining of skin showing four layers of epidermis - Stratum Basale (S.B), Stratum Spinosum (S.S), Stratum Granulosum (S.G), and Stratum Corneum (S.C). (B–D) XY-FISH showing male cells (XY) in epidermis of caesarean scars [arrows]. Blue represents DAPI stained nuclei. Green autofluorescence in XY-FISH in figure C and D was artifact from the Stratum Corneum layer of the skin.
