Preface

Informal polls of our colleagues and trainees that we have taken over several years have consistently identified non-neoplastic dermatopathology (NNDP) as a topical area of considerable unease. That situation has at least three main underpinnings, including a shortage of educational experience in NNDP in anatomic pathology residency curricula; unfamiliarity by pathologists with the “gross” (clinical) features of various dermatological disorders; and the considerable number of Latin, Greek, French, and German language terms that are used in the diagnosis of skin diseases.
