Abstract

This article reviews the recent English language literature on dematopathology, with an emphasis on publications appearing between January 1986 and July 1987. Immunohistochemistry continues to grow in importance as a diagnostic as well as a research technique. The advent of in situ deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization technology has raised diagnostic accuracy to a new level; it has already proved valuable in the diagnosis of certain viral infections. Areas that have received particular attention include phenotypic characteristics of lymphomas and lymphoma-like conditions, congenital melanocytic nevi and malignant melanoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma and other small cell tumors of the skin, sweat gland carcinomas, and eosinophil and its associated diseases, and unusual infectious diseases involving the skin.
