Jose A. Plaza

Jose A. Plaza's work focuses on dermatopathology, the microscopic diagnosis of skin diseases, with particular attention to skin cancers, lymphoproliferative disorders (abnormal growths of immune cells in the skin), and rare or diagnostically challenging skin tumors. Much of the research involves detailed case studies and case series that describe unusual tumor presentations, diagnostic pitfalls, and skin reactions related to cancer treatments such as immunotherapy. This work is aimed at improving pathologists' and dermatologists' ability to accurately identify and classify difficult skin conditions.

Publication output grew substantially from 2017 through a peak around 2022-2023, and has remained relatively steady at a higher level over the last five years compared to earlier in the decade.
