Dermatopathology

Dermatopathology is a combined subspecialty of dermatology and pathology and to a reduced scope of surgical pathology that concentrates on the study of cutaneous diseases at a microscopic and molecular level. It also incorporates investigations of the potential reasons of skin diseases at a basic level. Dermatopathologists work in association with clinical dermatologists. Dermatopathology cases might include melanoma, and other skin disorders; immunologic, infectious and paediatric diseases. A dermatopathologist is a trained physician who is specialized in identifying disorders of the skin under a microscope.
