Board Certified in Dermatology and Dermatopathology…
Michael Kucenic, MD has a subspecialty in Dermatopathology, the study of skin disease at a microscopic level. It encompasses both the diagnosis of individual patients through the examination of skin biopsies, and the study of the causes, or pathogenesis of skin diseases at the cellular level.
Dermatologists recognize most skin diseases based on their appearance, distribution on the body and behavior with time. Occasionally, these criteria are not enough and a skin biopsy needs to be taken and examined under the microscope. This microscopic examination reveals the histology of the disease and clarifies the diagnosis.
One of the greatest complexities of dermatopathology is the high number of different skin diseases. There are an estimated 1500 different rashes and skin tumors, including variants, and it takes highly skilled physicians to diagnose and treat these conditions. The specialties of dermatology and dermatopathology are known to be among the most challenging in medicine.
