The histopathologic assessment of a scalp biopsy for alopecia relies largely on the quality of the specimen provided for evaluation. There are a number of different protocols in the literature which have been proposed over the years, but no consensus has yet been reached as to the appropriate number of biopsies to be taken, or to which sectioning technique is the gold standard for achieving the best diagnostic yield. We herein review the pros and cons of the various protocols and share the experience with our St John's protocol.
对头皮活检进行组织病理学评估以诊断脱发，很大程度上依赖于提供用于评估的标本质量。多年来，文献中提出了许多不同的方案，但对于应进行活检的合适数量，或者哪种切片技术是获得最佳诊断结果的金标准，尚未达成共识。我们在此回顾各种方案的优缺点，并分享我们采用圣约翰方案的经验。
