DERMATOLOGY · TREATMENT

Dermatopathology

When your dermatologist biopsies something worth a closer look, what happens to that sample matters. Our dermatopathology experts analyze your skin tissue with the precision of specialists trained in both dermatology and pathology, delivering results and a diagnosis you can act on.

AAD - Dermatology > Dermatopathology - Hero

What Is Dermatopathology?

Dermatopathology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing diseases of the skin, hair, and nails through the microscopic examination of tissue samples. When your dermatologist biopsies a suspicious mole, lesion, or area of concern, that sample is sent to a dermatopathologist, a physician trained in both dermatology and pathology, for analysis.

At Anne Arundel Dermatology, our dermatopathology capabilities support the full range of skin cancer diagnoses, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and actinic keratoses, as well as inflammatory conditions, infections, and other skin disorders that require tissue-level confirmation. With direct communication between your treating dermatologist and the pathologist reviewing your case, we deliver a more seamless experience from biopsy to diagnosis.

What Does This Help?
A persistent rash, inflammatory condition, or chronic skin concern that has not responded to treatment
A skin condition suspected to be autoimmune or immune-related, such as lupus or dermatomyositis
A suspected fungal, bacterial, or viral infection, where a tissue sample supports a definitive diagnosis
A mole, growth, or lesion that looks irregular or has changed in appearance
A suspicious area identified during a full-body skin exam
A previously diagnosed skin cancer requiring continued monitoring
What Can I Expect After a Biopsy?
Once your sample has been analyzed, your dermatologist will contact you to discuss the findings.
Results typically include a diagnosis of benign, pre-cancerous, or malignant, along with a pathology report that guides next steps.
If further treatment is needed, your provider will walk you through your options in plain language. If your biopsy comes back clear, you will leave with confidence and a monitoring plan tailored to your skin.
THE BIOPSY & RESULTS PROCESS

What to Expect With Dermatopathology

From biopsy to diagnosis, here is how our dermatopathology process works and what it means for your care.

1

Identification

Your dermatologist identifies a lesion of concern during your appointment. They will let you know if a biopsy is recommended and explain exactly what they are looking for.
2

Sample Collected

A small tissue sample is collected during your visit. The area is numbed beforehand, and most biopsies take only a few minutes. You can typically return to your normal activities the same day.
3

Dermatopathology Lab Analysis

Your sample is reviewed by our dermatopathology team in our dedicated laboratory, serving our network of 100+ locations for accurate, specialist-reviewed results.
4

Sample Evaluation

A board-certified dermatopathologist examines the sample under a microscope, evaluating tissue characteristics to reach an accurate diagnosis.
5

Pathology Review

Your treating dermatologist reviews the pathology report and, when reviewed by our dermatopathology team, can communicate directly for faster, more coordinated follow-up.
6

Results & Next Steps

You receive your results, along with a clear explanation and a recommended path forward, whether that’s continued monitoring, a follow-up procedure, or reassurance that no further action is needed.

What to Expect, Step by Step

Our dermatopathology team works to give you clear, accurate answers as quickly as possible. Below is a general sense of what the timeline looks like, though individual results may vary based on the complexity of your case and where your sample is processed.

Process at a Glance

Day of Biopsy
Your tissue sample is collected and immediately documented, then sent for dermatopathology review.
Days 1–5
Your sample is processed and analyzed by a dermatopathologist, so you get an accurate, specialist-reviewed result.
Days 5-10
Your provider reviews findings with you and discusses next steps, whether that is peace of mind, a treatment plan, or a referral for further care.
Ongoing
All pathology records are retained within your patient record, supporting continuity of care across every future visit.

It had been years since I was at the dermatologist and I was a but anxious for this appointment. Turns out, that was not at all necessary! From check in with Jocelyn and Jaycee, to check out with Meghan (with interaction with Joann, too!), I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in, was 100% comfortable through the entire visit, and felt valued as a patient. The tech/assistant (I will butcher the spelling but her name reminded me of Marina) who escorted me to the exam room was super friendly and helped me be at ease with her explanation of what I should expect. The doctor I saw (Kerri), was so patient and thorough, making sure that all of my concerns were addressed and that I understood what she was doing during the head-to-toe exam. I will recommend this practice to anyone who needs a dermatologist!

UPDATE August 2026: Rating still stands. The staff here is so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Anne Arundel Dermatology. The everyone is friendly and welcoming. I was able to get a new patient appointment within a month, and when I needed to be seen again, I was able to schedule an appointment within a short and reasonable amount of time. During the appointment, the Dermatologist listened to my concerns and discussed treatment options and procedures in a way that was easy to understand. I left each appointment feeling very well taken care of by the staff at Anne Arundel Dermatology.

I can’t say enough good things about Academic Alliance in Dermatology! I have been dealing with a complex skin issue for quite some time, and they’ve truly gone above and beyond to help me. Jennifer and her staff take the time to really listen, explain treatment options, and make sure I feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. I finally feel like I’m in great hands and getting the care I have been needing. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a dermatology team that genuinely cares and takes the time to get it right.

I recently visited Nathali Rodriguez for full body skin check. Living in Florida...this is a must, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, professional, and efficient, making me feel comfortable right away. Nathali is absolutely outstanding—she took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained everything in clear, easy-to-understand terms, and provided a thorough examination. Her expertise was evident, and she made sure I left with a clear treatment plan and all my questions answered. What really stood out was their genuine compassion and patience. I never felt rushed, and she went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident in my care. My past follow-ups where just as attentive, which speaks volumes about Nathali's dedication to patients. If you’re looking for an ENT who combines top-notch medical skill with kindness and professionalism, look no further! I highly recommend Nathali and their team. Thank you for such a positive experience!

Your Dermatopathology Questions, Answered

A dermatologist diagnoses and treats conditions of the skin, hair, and nails, primarily through visual examination and in-office procedures. A dermatopathologist is a physician with additional specialized training in analyzing skin tissue under a microscope. At AADerm, these two roles work together: your dermatologist collects the sample, and our dermatopathologist provides the microscopic diagnosis that guides your treatment.

Most patients receive results within five to ten business days, though complex cases may take longer. Your provider will give you a more specific estimate at your appointment.

Not necessarily. Many providers share pathology results by phone or through the patient portal, depending on the nature of the findings and your preference. If further treatment is needed, your provider will schedule a follow-up appointment to walk you through your options in person.

The biopsy site is numbed with a local anesthetic before the sample is taken, so most patients feel only minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some tenderness at the site is normal for a day or two afterward. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions before you leave.

An abnormal result does not always mean cancer. Your dermatopathologist's report will indicate whether the findings are benign, pre-cancerous (such as actinic keratoses), or malignant. Your dermatologist will review the findings with you, explain what they mean in plain language, and discuss the recommended next steps, which may range from monitoring to a follow-up procedure.

Most insurance plans cover biopsy and pathology services when they are medically indicated. Coverage details vary by plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider before your appointment. Our team can also help answer questions about what to expect.

Dermatopathology supports diagnosis across a wide range of skin conditions, not just skin cancer. It is commonly used to confirm inflammatory conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and lupus; identify fungal, bacterial, or viral infections; and evaluate unexplained or treatment-resistant skin changes. Any time your dermatologist needs tissue-level evidence to reach an accurate diagnosis, dermatopathology is the tool they rely on.
