Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming diagnostic approaches in different fields of medical sciences, demonstrating an emerging potential to revolutionize dermatopathology due to its capacity to process large amounts of data in the shortest possible time, both for diagnosis and research purposes. Different AI models have been applied to neoplastic skin diseases, especially melanoma. However, to date, very few studies have investigated the role of AI in dermatoses. Herein, we provide an overview of the key aspects of AI and its functioning, focusing on medical applications. Then, we summarize all the existing English-language literature about AI applications in the field of non-neoplastic skin diseases: superficial perivascular dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infections, onychomycosis, immunohistochemical characterization of inflammatory dermatoses, and differential diagnosis between the latter and mycosis fungoides (MF). Finally, we discuss the main challenges related to AI implementation in pathology.
