Doody's Rating: * * * * *
This is an excellent text of dermatopathology. The illustrations alone are immensely valuable and are about the best available. I have found this book useful, but usually have used it in conjunction with Weedon's Skin Pathology, 2nd edition (Elsevier, 2002). This new edition is completely justified as it has added new entities, new sections, and has reorganized the existing sections. CDs are also included with each volume.
This book is written for the practitioners of dermatopathology, general pathology, and dermatology. Fellows and residents in these fields would also find the book helpful. The purpose was to completely rewrite the second edition to include new entities and chapters discussing hair follicle, nail, external genital, and oral mucosa pathology. An additional section covers adverse drug reactions. These are worthy objectives as the added sections have become more important and must be evaluated by dermatopathologists. The book meets the author's objectives.
Weighted Numerical Score: 100

"The book that no dermatologist or dermatopathologist can resist buying . . . the constant companion of the dermatopathology microscope"-British Medical Journal



"This magnificent work is one of the best illustrated books available that covers the gamut of dermatopathology."-New England Journal of Medicine


"This two-volume textbook is an excellent source of information concerning diagnostic and scientific aspects of dermatopathology...The beauty of this textbook, apart from the outstanding color images, is the spice of clinical perspective, pathophysiology, and literature citations that enhance the substance of the overall presentation in every chapter." --New England Journal of Medicine, December 2005

"Now in its 3rd edition, this title is a major contribution to the study of skin pathology. The cutting edge tone of this volume renders it invaluable to all medical science libraries. Among the many fine attributes of Pathology are the chapters on Melanoma and other cancerous conditions. Thus, it is imperative for Physicians practicing in this sub-specialty to be able to recognise the early signs of disease and proactively move toward treatment. Accordingly, this text creates a wonderful resource that will serve Dermatologists for years to come." -The Electric Review, June/July 2005

No dermatologist or dematopatholgist can really afford to be without a copy of this truly masterly and unique publication.
acpNews, The Association of Clinical Pathologists, Summer 2005

"It is hard to describe Pathology of the Skin without being overly enthusiastic. (...) The recently published third edition is excellent. (...) The two-volume Pathology of the Skin is a good investment for the practicing dermatologist and a definite reference textbook integrating clinical manifestations and their microscopic anayses. These volumes will not gather dust on your shelf." -- JAMA, December 28, 2005, Vol 294, No. 24

Book Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Pathma's reviews: Pathology of skin with Clinical Correlations, July 1, 2006

By	Dr. R. Pathmanathan "Dr Pathma" (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This marvelous book in its present two-volume reincarnation is an outstanding contribution to the science of diagnostic dermatopathology. I have owned the previous edition, and together with Dr David Weedon's book, have used both these texts almost exclusively in my clinical practice. Although I have other texts (Levers, Murphy, Pinkus) I have tended to use the latter less or not at all for my routine work.
The present edition fortifies the text with the addition of new chapters on oral mucosal pathology and importantly, discusses the problematic area of the cutaneous manifestations of drug reactions. The photomicrographs and clinical images are outstanding and, in my opinion, are the best in its class. The book is pretty expensive, but if you had to buy only one book, then this is the one I would recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book of pathology of skin disease, May 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pathology of the Skin: With Clinical Correlations (Hardcover)

Ordinarily, an diagosis of skin disease shouid be established on both clinical and pathological findings. This book is very useful for me in point of aggregating both findings. In addition, It is easy for me, being poor in English, to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, May 12, 2007

By	TV Lover (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

If you ever owned the old McKee - mine is falling apart from constant use - this is bigger and better than the first. If you are a practicing dermatologist and read your own slides or if you are in residency - this is a must have book. The text is well written, the clinical correlation is excellent and the pathology and histo-path images are superb. I don't know how I could have made it through residency or the boards without this book. This and Andrew's are my two most go-to books on a daily basis. This book will not collect dust on your shelf.
