Abstract: Dermatology and pathology have traditionally had very close interactions and clinical dermatologists have always been in the forefront of dermatopathology. The reasons for this are not difficult to seek: 1. Both are visually oriented specialties needing similar learning skills. 2. A clinical dermatologist is also the gross pathologist in case of skin biopsies. 3. The skin is the easiest organ to biopsy. 4. General pathologists have always shown, with certain exceptions, a lack of interest in dermatopathology.
