PY - 2020 T2 - Barnhill's Dermatopathology, 4e AB - The mainstay of dermatopathology is the examination of skin biopsies after fixation in formalin, embedding in paraffin, and staining with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). This technique has been quite durable in the history of histopathology because it offers many advantages: it is relatively quick, inexpensive, suitable for most practical needs, and relatively easy to master. However, it cannot answer all the questions that a case may pose at the diagnostic level. Therefore, pathologists have always searched for additional methods to analyze their histologic material.
