Professional Practice Gaps:
Practitioners may have difficulties describing and integrating cutaneous findings for rare dermatologic diseases. Cases will be presented to improve evaluation and diagnosis.
Practitioners may have difficulties relating the path report to the patient's condition. Through active review of the pathology with the dermatopathologist this situation will be improved.
Patients may not respond to first-line treatments and practitioners may have difficulty developing additional strategies. Cases selected/presented will provide the opportunity to explore various treatment options.
