In order to diagnose some skin diseases, many physicians turn to the Jefferson Dermatopathology Center, which consists of highly trained board-certified dermatopathologists and offers a full range of laboratory services as they pertain to diagnosing skin disease.

Our dermatopathologists offer expertise, knowledge and diagnosis of:

  • Psoriasis
  • Autoimmune connective tissue diseases

  • Melanomas

In addition, the dermatopathology laboratory serves as the educational center that provides training of medical students, residents and fellows.
