Dermatopathology
- Helps identify neoplasms (e.g. melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma) from skin biopsies.
- Inflammatory diseases (e.g. psoriasis, eczema).
- Systemic disorders (e.g. connective tissue disorders, pemphigus vulgaris).
- Infectious diseases (e.g. herpes, scabies, fungal infections)
- Metabolic disorders (e.g. hyperlipidemias, amyloidosis
It is very important that your biopsy is processed and the diagnosis is accurate so that the proper treatment can be received.
