HOW DOES A DERMATOPATHOLOGIST REALLY HELP PATIENTS? (WHAT DOES DERMPATH DO?)

Описание: In this video, Dr. Kami, a board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, shares a powerful story about how dermatopathology made a critical difference in a patient's life. Learn how a persistent lesion, initially treated as a fungal infection for over a year, was correctly diagnosed as a rare form of skin cancer called Extramammary Paget's Disease. This case highlights why a definitive diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, saving a patient from unnecessary medication and guiding them toward the proper surgical and oncologic care they truly needed.
