Editorial Reviews

Review

"Residents in pathology and dermatology often wish for a clear, well illustrated and digestible book that lays out the fundamental diagnostic points for the most common skin diseases- and there it is. Superb photomicrographs and logically ordered criteria are presented in a slim but handsome volume. I recommend Dermatopathology for all physicians in training in both specialties. Philip E. LeBoit MD Professor of Dermatology, Pathology and Dermatopathology UC-SF School of Medicine   Dermatopathology presents the clinical and histopathologic feature of common dermatologic disorders in a concise and logically organized fashion. Each entity is illustraded with excellent full color photomicrographs. A thoughtful discussion of differential diagnostic considerations and ancillary diagnostic tools for each entity will provide the reader with expert guidance on the interpretation of skin biopsies. This compact volume is ideal for trainees in pathology and dermatology or for the practicing pathologist or dermatologist who needs a quick reference.
