The aim of this website is:     
a.      To review the gross pathology of skin lesions, either primary lesions (those directly caused by the disease process) or secondary lesions (those that occur due to underlying diseases, trauma or medications).  
b. To predict the likely histopathology from the gross appearance of the lesions and to correlate the gross and histopathology using case material.
 
Each example will consist of gross lesions and the corresponding histopathology.  This will allow the students to become familiar with the terminology used and again review the material prior to partaking in the dermatology course in the 3rd year and the dermatology rotations in their senior year.
