Malpighian layer
The Malpighian layer of the skin is generally defined as both the stratum basale and stratum spinosum as a unit,[1][2] although it is occasionally defined as the stratum basale specifically,[3]or the stratum spinosum specifically.[4]
It is named after Marcello Malpighi.
Basal cell carcinoma originates from the basal layer of the rete malpighii of the skin.
