Dermatoscopy of Non-Pigmented Skin Tumors. Pink - Think - Blink

Description

In the realm of non-melanoma skin cancer, which is usually non-pigmented, dermoscopy offers today a reliable tool not only for the diagnosis but also for the monitoring of the treatment outcome after topical therapy. Written by international experts, this text shows those already using the technique in dermatology or family practice how to extend its uses to non pigmented skin tumors.

Features

• Details how to use dermoscopy for early diagnosis of non-pigmented skin lesions
• Discusses the technical aspects of how to perform dermoscopy of non-pigmented skin lesions
• Details clinical assessment, vascular morphologies, and vascular arrangements
• Highlights the diagnostic significance of specific patterns
