ATIVESITE | Ask a Pathologist: How can I be sure my pathology report is accurate?

When your doctor biopsies your skin, he or she sends it to a pathologist, a specialist with deep expertise diagnosing diseases such as skin cancer. By looking at cells from your biopsy under the microscope, and by considering other factors in your medical history, the pathologist issues your pathology report. Dr. Leilani Valdes, MD, FCAP, a pathologist with a subspecialty in dermatologic pathology, answers related questions from patients.
