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.
