Skin Biopsy Dermatopathologists provide patients with the most accurate diagnoses possible. SCMC’s dermatopathologists are experts in the microscopic evaluation of moles — pigmented lesions scientifically known as nevi — as well as atypical nevi and melanoma. What is a dermatopathologist? A dermatopathologist is a pathologist who has had extensive training in microscopic diagnosis of skin diseases. They have completed a five-year general pathology training program and have spent an additional year in a dermatopathology fellowship. The American Board of Dermatology recently emphasized the importance of dermatopathologists for accurate interpretation of skin diseases. They urge all patients to ask who’s reading their skin biopsies and request a second opinion. SCMC is fortunate to have two board-certified dermatopathologists on staff. Our Services
