Dermatopathology is a specialized field that combines dermatology and pathology to diagnose diseases of the skin, hair, and nails through microscopic examination of tissue samples. It plays a vital role in identifying inflammatory conditions, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and skin cancers with greater accuracy.
Modern diagnostic techniques, including immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, and digital pathology, have enhanced the precision of dermatopathologic diagnosis. These advances support early disease detection, personalized treatment planning, and improved patient outcomes.
This session will focus on recent advances in dermatopathology, covering inflammatory dermatoses, melanocytic lesions, skin tumors, molecular diagnostics, digital pathology, and emerging technologies that are transforming dermatological diagnosis and research.
