7.2 HIGH-YIELD DERMATOPATHOLOGY DIAGNOSES AT A GLANCE

Herein, we present an abbreviated summary of the 226
most testable dermpath diagnoses, including their most essential histopathologic features, as well as their mimics (Table 7.11). Because of space constraints, we are unable to include microscopic images of all entities. We encourage the reader to refer to one of the many excellent Elsevier Dermatopathology titles.

Fig. 7.18 (A) Dermatobroma. Scanning section shows the characteristic architecture. The lateral borders of the lesion interdigitate with the adjacent dermis (so-called “collagen trapping”).
