Overview



The definitive survey of diagnostic dermatopathology?now extensively revised with expanded full-color art



Includes Online Image Bank containing all the images in the book



For virtually every kind of skin lesion, this skill-sharpening resource has everything you need to successfully perform differential diagnosis at the microscopic level. Dermatopathology features a systematic, algorithmic approach that cuts through the complexity of the discipline?s traditional disease-oriented focus, providing a ready-to-use diagnostic tool that puts the entire world of dermatopathology into perspective.



Filled with hundreds of color photomicrographs, the book features a clear five-part organization and 37 detailed chapters?each reflecting the scientifically rigorous, up-to-date insights of authors who are acknowledged experts in the field. The book?s vast scope encompasses all skin disease processes?inflammatory, non-inflammatory, infections, and proliferations (harmatomas, hyperplasias, and neoplasms, plus disorders of nails and oral mucosa).
