The importance of dermatopathology to the practicing dermatologist cannot be overstated. We now have an increased understanding of which mechanisms contribute to the various clinical and histopathological findings associated with specific conditions. Practicing dermatopathologists and dermatologists must be cognizant of not only their respective differential diagnoses, but also the possible pathological mechanisms at hand and how this information may impact the diagnosis and treatment plan. In this modern era, there is a need to teach dermatopathology on a scale that encompasses the intricacies of pathogenesis in addition to clinicopathologic correlation.
