Making Sense of the Expanding Molecular Toolbox for Skin Cancer Diagnosis-Skin Cancer Course

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Yadira Hurley presents a portion of the Skin Cancer Course focusing on lymphoproliferative disorders in dermatopathology. Discussions include appropriate use criteria, manifestations of LPDs, diagnostic challenges, clonality assays, T cell disorders, B cell clonality, Muir-Torr syndrome-associated neoplasms, Lynch syndrome screening, HPV testing, and DFSP cytogenetics. Testing recommendations for HPV and DFSP are detailed, emphasizing the importance of communication between pathologists and clinicians. A case study of a 20-year-old female with a chest tumor illustrates the application of appropriate use criteria in diagnosing DFSP. The presentation underlines the value of appropriate use criteria in guiding ancillary test utilization, addressing controversies in evidence, and identifying areas for further research in dermatopathology.
