The 25 pages that link to Skin biopsy, each with the reason it gives.

• EpidermisRelated: A biopsy can reveal epidermal changes that help diagnose skin disorders.

• MelanomaRelated: Biopsy establishes whether a suspicious lesion is melanoma and supplies staging details.

• Skin cancerRelated: Histology confirms diagnosis and identifies the cancer type.

• DermatologyRelated: Tissue sampling can resolve diagnoses that appearance alone cannot distinguish.

• Alopecia areataRelated: Histology can help when the clinical pattern is uncertain.

• Basal cell carcinomaRelated: Microscopic examination confirms whether a suspected lesion is basal cell carcinoma.

• DermoscopyCompared with: Unlike dermoscopy, biopsy examines tissue directly and can establish histologic diagnosis.

• Stevens–Johnson syndromeRelated: Biopsy can support diagnosis by showing extensive epidermal cell death.

• Scarring alopeciaRelated: A biopsy can reveal follicular inflammation and scarring when the diagnosis is uncertain.

• Small fiber neuropathyRelated: A distal-leg biopsy can be used to measure intraepidermal nerve fiber density.

• Skin lesionRelated: Tissue sampling can resolve uncertainty about a lesion’s cause.

• DermatitisRelated: Biopsy can help investigate an atypical rash when its cause remains uncertain.

• Epidermolysis bullosaRelated: Specialized biopsy studies can locate the level of skin separation.

• IchthyosisRelated: Histology can help distinguish ichthyosis patterns when clinical findings are unclear.

• NevusRelated: Histopathology can resolve uncertainty when examination cannot classify a lesion.

• PapuleRelated: A biopsy may clarify the cause when a papule's appearance is inconclusive.

• Integumentary systemRelated: It allows direct diagnosis of disorders affecting skin structure.

• Urbach–Wiethe diseaseRelated: Microscopy can reveal the hyaline deposits characteristic of lipoid proteinosis.

• CADASILRelated: Electron microscopy can identify characteristic vascular deposits when genetic testing is inconclusive.

• Darier diseaseRelated: Histology can reveal acantholysis and dyskeratosis that support diagnosis.

• Integumentary System Physiological PhenomenaRelated: Tissue sampling reveals structural and cellular changes underlying skin disorders.

• Kaposi's sarcomaRelated: Biopsy can confirm suspected Kaposi's sarcoma by revealing characteristic spindle cells and vascular spaces.

• MorgellonsRelated: Biopsies can test for inflammation, infection, or other tissue changes in reported lesions.

• Prurigo pigmentosaRelated: Microscopy can support diagnosis when the clinical pattern is uncertain.

• Skin and Connective Tissue DiseasesRelated: Histology can distinguish disorders with similar visible appearances.
