Dermatopathology 2023 — 42 slide-heavy lectures on melanocytic, adnexal, lymphoid and inflammatory skin lesions
Dermatopathology 2023 is the March 2023 release of the Masters of Pathology dermatopathology series: 42 video lectures from 14 skin pathologists, among them Thomas Brenn, Klaus Busam, Jason Hornick and Steve Billings. The emphasis is on cases that go wrong at the microscope — naevi that imitate melanoma, sweat gland tumours without a clear name, epidermotropic infiltrates, vascular lesions and blistering disease — with the differential, the stains and the molecular tests talked through for each.

What you’ll be able to do
- Separate melanoma from its benign mimics, including lentigo maligna, desmoplastic and nevoid variants
- Decide when immunohistochemistry and molecular testing will change a melanocytic diagnosis
- Classify follicular, sebaceous and sweat gland tumours
- Work through epidermotropism and cutaneous B-cell lymphoma without over-calling
- Read alopecia biopsies, infections and their mimics, and autoimmune blistering disease
- Recognise how missing clinical history and sampling error lead to misdiagnosis
Inside the course
Melanocytic lesions in Dermatopathology 2023
Brenn’s three-part talk on naevi that pretend to be melanoma opens the programme, followed by Busam on three melanoma subtypes and Andea on Spitz neoplasms, immunostains and molecular assays.
Adnexal, epidermal and soft-tissue tumours
Wiedemeyer and Brenn cover follicular, sebaceous and sweat gland differentiation; Harms moves from benign epidermal growths to BCC, SCC and Merkel cell carcinoma; Billings and Hornick handle vascular, fibrohistiocytic, epithelioid and nerve sheath tumours.
Lymphoid and inflammatory skin
Goodlad and Gru address epidermotropism and B-cell lymphoma. Naert and Hunter split alopecia into non-scarring and scarring forms, Grayson tackles infections and HIV-related disease, Chan reviews rush biopsies, and Lehman and Billings finish with blistering disorders, vasculitis and vasculopathy.
