Our board-certified dermatopathologists provide unparalleled diagnostic interpretation and clinician support for all types of skin, soft tissue and nail diseases, allowing podiatrists to provide the best possible patient care.
Read by dermatopathologist:
- Onychomycosis evaluation with decree/intensity of involvement*
- PAS stains for onychomycosis (24 hr turnaround)
- Skin tumors/lesions including melanoma
- Evaluation of skin ulcers and cysts
- Evaluation of tumors of cartilage and bone
- On-line reporting
- Bone evaluation with decalcification for degenerative joint disease, gout, and osteomyelitis
* Nails are stable for months either dry or in formalin. The formalin is preferred because it preserves the fungus (if present) of onychomycosis and also softens the nail for our processing equipment.
Consultations and requests for second opinions are welcome.
