Atlas of Dermatopathology. Practical Differential Diagnosis by Clinicopathologic Pattern

Description

Improve your dermatological diagnostic accuracy

Expertise in dermatological diagnosis is achieved through many patient consultations and the reinforcement of pattern recognition skills. Even so, rare presentations, or the strange presentation of common conditions, can baffle even experienced dermatologists. The results of biopsy investigation in isolation don’t always yield answers.

But when considered together, the clinical pattern and the histopathology, then diagnosis can become clearer.

Dermatopathology: Practical Differential Diagnosis by Clinicopathologic Pattern provides top quality images to correlate clinical presentations with histopathologic slides. Annotated images highlight subtle indications that can clinch the diagnosis. Concise, bullet-pointed text provides further context.

Written by internationally renowned authors, the book is ideal for anyone involved in the diagnosis of skin disease.
