Basic Dermpath Cases - Explained by a Dermatopathologist

Published 2017-04-14
A complete organized library of all my videos, digital slides, pics, & sample pathology reports is available here: kikoxp.com/posts/5084 (dermpath) & kikoxp.com/posts/5083 (bone/soft tissue sarcoma pathology).

More basic dermpath cases. I came across all of these random cases during routine dermpath sign out recently. This is a nice sample of the kinds of biopsies (and excisions) a typical dermatopathologist sees in practice. I discuss my thought process for each case. Huge thanks to my medical student at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Blake St. Clair, for volunteering to type a transcript of this entire video so that I could provide closed caption subtitles. Entities discussed:

Dermatofibroma (0:00)
Glomus tumor (9:10)
Interface dermatitis and pigment incontinence (18:30)
Mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T cell lymphoma)(23:30)
Ruptured folliculitis (31:27)
Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis & epidermolytic acanthoma (34:33)

    First of all, thank you so much for these videos, its a blessing. And a note about splitter/lumpers. surely the descriptive fashion of working the pathology field was and still an integral part. However as a practicing pathologist too often it seems like theres an overflow of entities/variants that are purely the imaginative mind of the person who coined them. No clinical value at all, prognostic value, nothing. It's sad that like you said, pathologists want to publish articles to promote themselves so all the rest of us are stuck with tons of information to grasp which too often has no significance. Not only it consumes time and memory space, it also reflects poorly on our profession as a whole. I think it's sad.
