Dermatopathology has been an integral part of dermatology for more than 100 years and is essential for high quality patient care. In German-speaking countries, dermatologists can acquire an additional qualification in dermatopathology after appropriate further training. For many years, dermatopathological diagnostics has advanced far beyond morphology. Immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology are nowadays an essential part and a prerequisite for the preservation of our discipline. Due to the increasing implementation of digitalization and artificial intelligence, dermatopathology is forward-looking and offers an attractive working environment for young colleagues. Dermatopathology is also indispensable for research, and this fact should also be taken into account by creating academic positions and professorships in the future.
