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.
