'''Dermatopathology''' is the pathology of skin.
'''Dermatopathology''' is the pathology of skin.  


Pathology is a significant part of dermatology and dermatologists spend five years in residency. So, it is a huge area.

Note:
*The layer below the skin is the ''subdermis'' ([[AKA]] hypodermis, [[AKA]] subcutaneous tissue).
**It is below the dermis and consists of adipose tissue.<ref>URL: [http://histologyolm.stevegallik.org/node/119 http://histologyolm.stevegallik.org/node/119]. Accessed on: 5 November 2013.</ref>

A. Inner labial biopsy shows subepithelial hyalinized pink/red material, about blood vessels and in general.  B. The particularly glassy appearance of the material in areas is evident at high power.

A. Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia seemingly forms a dermal mass. B. Parakeratosis tops epidermis. C. Neutrophils lie in the center of the apparent mass. D. Diagnostic xanthoma cells lie in dermal papillae.

A. The dermis resembles Swiss cheese. B. Macrophages, some with more than one nucleus, accompany empty ovoid spaces. C. Some macrophages resemble Teuton body giant cells. D. An admixture of lymphocytes is not at all unusual.

A. Extending from papillary dermis into dermis is a chronic, blue inflammatory infiltrate. B. The infiltrate comprises lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages. C. At the edge of the biopsy pink strews inflammatory cells; this pink invasion of inflammation, so to speak, is a good place to look for organisms.  D. High power reveals sometimes budding yeast forms in clear spaces.

Changes of herpes zoster in lower right abdominal skin of a 48 yo Hispanic man. A. Note the edema at the dermoepidermal junction along with a focal separation at the left as well as the inflamed superficial and deep blood vessels. B,C. Careful examination along the junction uncovers smudged chromatin diagnostic of viral infection. D. Vasculitis associated changes include extravasated neutrophils with nuclear dust, as well as pervascular macrophages, lymphocytes and occasional eosinophils.
