Book Reviews
5 Stars! "...a valuable resource for residents, fellows, and experienced dermatopathologists as it provides a compact overview of most skin diseases including inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. It illustrates them in a catchy, compact way with their most important differential diagnoses.... Each disease entity is described with a short text, summarized in a table containing a disease fact list, a table with the main histopathological hallmarks, and illustrated by a small or medium-sized clinical and/or histopathological color photo.... A highlight of the book is algorithmic approaches to certain diagnoses like alopecia that are known to cause problems in decision making during daily sign out.... Its compact size and practical tables and charts make it very easy to use,... a great resource for trainees in dermatopathology and experienced dermatopathologists alike." Review by Katharina Wiedemeyer, MD (University of Michigan Medical School), ©Doody's Review Service, 2025. Doody's Score: 99, 5 Stars!
Review of the previous edition:
"I liked the layout of this textbook and it provided an excellent synopsis of the diseases that were included. The book is also accessible online...It is a textbook that should be available in all training departments for both dermatologists and histopathologist." -Reviewed by The Bulletin, October 2010
"Busam and a group of experienced diagnostic dermatopathologists hit that mark precisely with this text...Books offering an introduction to the field and those aiming to cover the "essentials" also abound. What sets this volume apart, however, is the emphasis on differential diagnosis, logical organization, and liberal use of summary tables. Very few books are as practical for a busy practicing pathologist or resident as this volume." -Reviewed by Barbara M. Egbert, MD, Doody's Review Service
