A new volume in the Surgical Pathology: Case-Based Approach to Diagnosis series, Dermatopathology offers a practical, real-world approach to this complex area of surgical pathology. Actual cases, highlighted by hundreds of high-quality clinical and histologic photographs, help you learn and retain key information, including which pathologic findings are clinically significant and which are not.

Title Reviews

"...a case-based text that highlights key elements of daily dermatopathology sign out. Part of the series Surgical Pathology: A Case-Based Approach to Diagnosis, this volume targets practicing pathologists without special qualification in dermatopathology, residents, and fellows. It serves as a great overview and introduction to many of the challenges of inflammatory dermatoses and cutaneous neoplasms,... [and] a great resource for anybody starting to sign out dermatopathology, especially for students, residents, and fellows.... Each chapter begins with a case-based approach starting with a patient history followed by the illustration of the histopathologic findings.... This book is small, handy and focuses on the main categories of skin diseases, illustrated in a case-based approach with minimal text and numerous histopathological pictures. It is a great resource for residents and trainees in dermatopathology and general surgical pathologists."
