Dermatopathology

by Carlo Raj, MD, Mohammad Hajighasemi-Ossareh, MD

Dermatopathology refers to the study of disorders of the skin. These include a multitude of conditions, including acne vulgaris, burns, malignancy, and the cutaneous manifestations of autoimmune diseases.

In this course, the student will be introduced to inflammatory, infectious, malignant, and other ailments that affect the skin.

For optimal understanding, the student must be familiar with the histology of the skin, including its basic structure, types, and annexed components (follicles, sweat glands, and nails). Adequate study of skin lesions requires a process of careful observation to ensure greater retention.

Dermatologic conditions are a very common complaint around the world, as the skin is a very prized and sensitive component of an individual’s appearance and sense of self-worth.

A competent physician and nurse must have an excellent eye for skin lesions, be able to differentiate between dermatologic conditions, and be very well versed in the nomenclature to properly identify lesions. Additionally, a clinician must also be knowledgeable of the dermatologic manifestations of systemic diseases, such as autoimmune conditions (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus), metabolic conditions (e.g., acanthosis nigricans in diabetes mellitus), and malignancy (e.g., dermatomyositis in lung cancer).

A nice but really tricky course unit
By Dengu D. on 16. April 2021 for Neoplastic Skin Diseases

One needs a really freshened mind to grasp this. I think I need more time on this. Perhaps more illustration and pictures demonstrating the various skin conditions discussed would be beneficial!
