Abstract

The diagnosis of psoriasis is often made upon clinical inspection of the skin. The clinical presentation often makes diagnostic testing and pathological examination of a biopsy from a plaque unnecessary. However, much of what is known about the pathophysiology of psoriasis comes from the pathological appearance of the disease. In this chapter, we will examine the pathological patterns seen in the skin of patients with psoriasis as well as laboratory abnormalities associated with clinical activity of the disease.
