Poor quality article[edit]

This article is of poor quality, contains some misleading information, and appears to copy (or have been copied by) a sketchy article on Answers.com. Request that a dermatologist, pathologist or oncologist please expand and correct this stub. Dr neil 00:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Dr_Neil[reply]

Please do! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.112.70.211 (talk) 02:11, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - improper use of "ectodermal tissue", among other issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:8702:F5BA:B0A3:5675:CD97:5DA (talk) 08:50, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
