ABSTRACT
By way of introduction, I would like to review with you my personal approach to a slide. None of the ideas presented herewith are original; they represent a compendium of ideas that have been borrowed from my teachers, especially my first mentor in dermatopathology, Dr. A. Bernard Ackerman, and all of my friends and colleagues I had taken training with and have collaborated with over the years, many of whom are authors of chapters in this book.
