Resumen:

El procesamiento de las biopsias de piel es el primer paso en el que interviene el dermatopatólogo. Este importante evento es a menudo delegado en personal escasamente entrenado, como auxiliares o estudiantes de posgrado en sus primeros años de formación. Las consecuencias de esta acción son generalmente irreversibles y habitualmente los errores cometidos no pueden repararse.

Palabras clave:

biopsia, laboratorio, dermatopatología, márgenes de resección.

Summary:

The processing of skin biopsies is the first event in which the dermatopathologist is involved. This important step is often delegated to poorly trained staff including support staff or undergraduated students in their formative years. The consequences of this action are generally irreversible and usually the mistakes cannot be repaired.

Key words:

biopsy, laboratory, dermatopathology, resection margins.
