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.

So glad I made the switch to Anne Arundel Dermatology in Towson! I used to go to Hopkins but could never get an appointment for my annual skin checks — they wouldn’t schedule a year out and were always booked when I called months in advance. I felt like just another number there. Here, the doctors and staff are super friendly and really know their stuff. They take the time to get to know you. They did a great job of explaining a biopsy and ultimately a small procedure to remove a suspicious spot in such a way that I felt more comfortable than I did concerned….they actually care. It’s been such a better experience all around! Definitely would recommend.

I’ve had these tiny bumps on my chin for years. Ive seen a slew of providers, and I’ve been told it is acne, hormonal acne, fungal acne, that I need an exfoliant, that I need a different type of exfoliant, etc. I’ve tried every product you can imagine. I saw Jennifer Roop Thursday of this week. Within seconds, she said it was perioral dermatitis and prescribed a topical treatment. Two days later my face has almost cleared completely. I am so shocked and so excited that I finally have a method to clear this up. Thank you!!

I have had cosmetics services routinely for almost 20 years, and I can wholeheartedly say that Brittany is the best.

The level of care at Skin Cancer Surgery Center was very good, everybody was nice and helpful and I would definitely come back here again! The only downside was the $10 fee it cost to park!

Friendly, professional and thoughtful are words that come to mind when I think about this dermatology practice. And confidence is what I feel after every appointment. As a retired health professional, I know what makes 'good practice' and they appear to be the Gold Standard.

Fantastic - perfect! Physician Assistant Mackenzie Doshi has saved my life and prolonged my generally good health, evidently. PA Doshi is thorough when she examines my skin. Mackenzie gently removed two samples on 12/5/2023 for biopsy analysis. She was amazing during my past visits as well!

We love Dr. O’Neill, have been seeing him for years. My wife and I see him together and it’s like a happy reunion every time! He is so good at what he does and we love him! He’s been protecting us from the sun for years!! We are boaters too! We make the drive now from Easton, Md. I tried to go local one time in Annapolis and they whacked off something in my shin and asked me to come back for biopsy. I went back to Dr. O’Neill right away. No issue in shin at all. We will stay with him until he retires!! 😉

The nurse practitioner was honest with me and did not try to upsell me into biopsying my mole of concern. She was straight up that the cancer risk was low, while she could not guarantee it was cancer free. I appreciated the transparency.

I am petrified of medical offices. The ladies make you feel very welcomed! You are quickly checked in and not long after, called to the back. Dr. Dawn is so awesome, fast and has A very soothing, calming voice. This was my 2nd visit with a small procedure and it was a breeze! These ladies made me so comfortable and my mind was at ease! Highly recommend!!!

Academic Alliance in Dermatology is the best. Dr. Lam is great. He is so pleasant as is every one else in his practice from the minute you walk in. He takes his time with you and doesn't rush you. Very thorough and takes care of any concerns you might have. I highly recommend Dr. Lam. Have been a PT of his since 2014 and since I had melanoma in the past, before I started seeing him, I get seen q6mos for routine total body exams.

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.
