The Department of Pathology and Dermatology of Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun Ipoh in collaboration with Dermatological Society of Malaysia and The International Academy of Pathology (Malaysian Division) had organized a Clinico Pathology Discussion that was held on a Sunday morning, 12th October 2014 at the Department of Pathology, Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun Ipoh.  

It was conducted quite differently from other clinico pathology discussions, being that the microscopic session were demonstrated first before the clinician’s presentation as requested by Professor Tetsunori Kimura, a visiting lecturer from Sapporo Dermatopathology Institute.  Interesting and selected challenging cases of dermatopathology were discussed.  The session was proven to be effective and stimulating in getting the accurate diagnosis.  The response was overwhelming, notwithstanding that the session was conducted on a Sunday!  The fact that all participants stayed on right through lunch was further testament to the success of the session.
