Histopathologic Correlation in Dermoscopy

Histopathologic correlation in dermoscopy: a micropunch technique.

BACKGROUND Dermoscopy is a simple-to-use, in vivo method for the diagnosis of malignant melanoma and the differential diagnosis of pigmented skin lesions. It uses an immersion technique and optical magnification to visualize structures not visible to the naked eye. The anatomoclinical correlation of dermoscopic with histopathologic findings is important, and while many articles have described d...

A Digital Dermoscopy Follow-up Illustration and a Histopathologic Correlation for Angulated Lines in Extrafacial Lentigo Maligna.

IMPORTANCE The diagnosis of extrafacial lentigo maligna can be a challenge because the dermoscopic features are not well described. These features can share some of the criteria of superficial spreading melanoma and some of facial lentigo maligna; however, these features are often absent. A new dermoscopic pattern has recently been described as forming angulated lines. OBSERVATIONS We report ...

Diagnostic Pediatric Cytopathology and Histopathologic Correlation.

Gallbladder Tuberculosis: CT Findings with Histopathologic Correlation

OBJECTIVE We wanted to describe the computed tomography (CT) findings of gallbladder tuberculosis (TB) and to correlate them with pathologic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS There were seven patients (M:F = 3:4; mean age, 46.3 years; age range, 32 to 78 years) in whom gallbladder TB was eventually diagnosed. All of them underwent cross-sectional imaging with CT, a pathologic examination and a ...

Cerebral aspergillosis: MR imaging and histopathologic correlation.

The authors report a case of intracranial aspergillosis secondary to immunosuppression. Signal intensity changes in the lesion on brain MR are compared with gross and histopathologic findings at autopsy. A peripheral ring of low signal intensity relates to a dense population of Aspergillus hyphal elements and small areas of hemorrhage. CT findings are included for comparison.
