What is Dermatopathology?

Dermatologists are trained to recognize most skin diseases based on their appearance, anatomy, and behavior. Sometimes, however, to conclusively determine a diagnosis the physician must perform a skin biopsy to be further examined on a microscopic level, which is where the role of the dermatopathologist comes in. Dermatopathology is a sub-specialty of dermatology and pathology that focuses on the histopathologic analysis of skin. Pathologists and dermatopathologists are physicians that are trained to observe cells on a microscopic level, synthesize the data, and diagnose the disorder. This microscopic diagnosis provides the clinician with information that is often essential to selecting an appropriate treatment plan. Examples of these cases involve diagnoses of various skin conditions including skin cancers and rashes.

  • Gross and microscopic examination of skin, mucosa, hair, and nails
