A puzzling rash. Is a skin biopsy a useful diagnostic tool?
The diagnosis of a puzzling skin rash may require the clinician to provide a well taken biopsy specimen with an accompanying detailed description of the rash. The pathologist needs to be cognizant of the clinical manifestation of skin eruptions and to correlate the histopathological findings with the clinical features.
