Overview
LMC has a full-service Dermatopathology laboratory that provides consultative and diagnostic expertise in skin biopsy interpretation including inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. Our dermatopathologists provide clinically relevant reports which enable the physician to offer the most appropriate treatment of the patient.

The dermatopathology team at LMC consists of fellowship trained, board certified dermatopathologists.

Each of our dermatopathologists actively publishes peer reviewed scientific articles and reference text chapters in respected dermatology and pathology journals and books.

Extensive training and experience allows our dermatopathologists to offer expert pathologic examination of skin biopsy specimens, including skin and subcutaneous cancers, melanocytic lesions and melanomas. During their fellowships, each of our dermatopathologists gained clinical dermatology experience which enables them to offer expert pathologic interpretation of biopsies of inflammatory skin disorders, rashes and dermatitis. Our dermatopathologists are readily available to discuss difficult cases and understand the importance of clinico-pathologic correlation.

Turnaround time is rapid and most reports on routine skin biopsies are available within 24 hours of receipt in the laboratory. In our laboratory we have on hand a majority of the special testing for even the most uncommon skin disorders. When necessary for diagnosis, we utilize an extensive array of immunohistochemical, flow cytometric immunophenotypic, and molecular studies. Immunofluorescence and gene rearrangement studies are available through our relationship with reference laboratories. We have an unerring commitment to quality and treat each and every case with the utmost care.
