How Dermatopathology

Works

A Step-by-Step Process to Deeper Understanding

1

Initial Examination: Your dermatologist assesses the skin condition and determines if a biopsy is needed.

2

Biopsy Collection: A small tissue sample is extracted from the affected area under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.

3

Lab Preparation: The tissue is preserved, embedded, and sliced into ultra-thin sections for microscopic examination.

4

Microscopic Analysis: A dermatopathologist examines the tissue to identify abnormalities in cell structure and behavior.

5

Diagnosis and Treatment: Findings are communicated to the dermatologist, who devises a targeted treatment plan based on the diagnosis.

This meticulous approach ensures accurate diagnoses, early detection of diseases, and effective treatment strategies, giving patients the best possible outcomes.
