“…Non-dermatologists are more likely to misdiagnose skin diseases than are dermatologists. 7 Particularly when physicians are less experienced, the level of clinical description and diagnosis provided on the biopsy request slips may be very poor. It is a common experience among dermatopathologists worldwide that referral sheets are mostly incompletely completed (when they are filled out at all) and that in most cases the quality of information provided is poor.…”

Eles revisaram 7.734 laudos anatomopatológicos de um serviço de dermatopatologia (recebidos em período de 40 dias do ano de 1995) e separaram todos os casos em que o clínico ou cirurgião suspeitava de algum tipo de nevo e fazia ou não o diagnóstico diferencial com melanoma.…”
