چکیده
It has been just over 4 years, at this writing, since Bernie Ackerman died on December 5, 2008, in New York City. On that day, I lectured at the University of Missouri-Columbia, my alma mater, on why I disagreed with the concept of the dysplastic nevus. My lecture was titled: “Dysplastic Nevus: Fact or Fiction?” Bernie was a big influence on what I discussed in that lecture, and it generated a number of questions from the audience, most of whom were residents in pathology who knew little about him or his ideas. As I was driving home to St. Louis, my wife telephoned me about Bernie’s passing. It was a long and quiet drive Ackerman AB. A Philosophy of Practice of surgical Pathology: Dermatopathology as Model.

He also felt that this dictionary would serve pathology as well. Many tried to complete this “pro...
