Acanthosis, caused by a prolonged passage of the keratinocytes from the stratum basale to the cornification, thus prolonged retention of the keratinocytes in the epithelium. Retention acanthosis occurs in bradytrophic metabolic conditions of the epidermis, e.g. in the case of verrucous lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.
