Why is Histological Examination Crucial in the Management of Cutaneous Lesions?
Histological examination is pivotal in the management of cutaneous lesions as it provides definitive diagnosis and guides therapeutic decisions. Accurate histological diagnosis can determine whether a lesion is benign or malignant, influencing treatment options such as surgical excision, topical therapies, or systemic treatment. Additionally, histology can also provide prognostic information, such as the likelihood of metastasis in malignant lesions, which is critical in patient management.
