Descrizione

Dermatopathology is a borderline medical discipline in between dermatology and pathology. Neither in Italy nor in the rest of the world can we find a real postgraduate degree for this subject. Dermatopathology is sometimes practiced by dermatologists who have acuired the skill to examine skin lesions through the microscope, but it i s also sometimes practiced by pathologists who need to produce a medical report without having the possibility to clinically visit the patient. As a result, there is the need to combine these two separate disciplines and create a School for Dermatopathology. To this end, the international scientific community has created dedicatd Societies, across Congresses, courses and scientific publications, in order to meet the educational needs of both specialties.Who is the reader of this Manual?
