Focus on dermatopathology in developing countries

Dermatopathology has a long history, the term dermatopathology was coined in 1792 by Henry Seguin Jackson, one hundred years later many books about dermatopathology were available worldwide (Mehregan), but now two-hundred years later, the reality is that dermatopathology is still lacking in many countries of the developing world. Those countries have limited to no access to dermatologists, pathologists, or histology and laboratory services. A trained dermatologist or dermatopathologist is available in only 14% of countries (Tsang). We urgently have to remedy this sad state of affairs.
