Article Abstract
Dermatohistopathology is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in clinical dermatology. It is a process in which the veterinary clinician and the veterinary pathologist must consider themselves a team in patient care. The veterinary clinician must know when biopsies are indicated; be able to select lesions to biopsy that are likely to yield diagnostic results; skillfully procure the biopsy samples; and provide the pathologist with an accurate history, clinical description, and clinical differential diagnosis. The pathologist should have particular interest and expertise in dermatohistopathology, be readily accessible to the clinician, and be vigilant in the pursuit of an accurate histologic description and diagnosis.
