About This Course
Dermatopathology is a highly visual and detail-driven specialty where accurate diagnosis depends on morphology, clinical correlation, ancillary testing, and familiarity with evolving diagnostic criteria.
This course provides a practical update on important dermatopathology topics, including melanocytic lesions, cutaneous lymphomas, adnexal tumors, inflammatory disorders, immunobullous disease, pediatric dermatopathology, vulvar pathology, infectious disease, oral leukoplakia, and molecularly defined cutaneous neoplasms.
