Overview
Dermatologic Pathology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. It combines the science of pathology and dermatology to help guide the management of diseases with skin manifestations. Dermatologic Pathology specializes in the microscopic examination of skin biopsies, which are then used to determine an accurate diagnosis that allows the dermatologist to develop a treatment plan. In addition to analysis of skin biopsy specimens, Dermatologic Pathologists also study tissue processing methods, case consultations, and provide advice on genetic testing of skin tumors. This combined diagnostic and consultation expertise offers a unique perspective that helps to optimize patient care.
