Book Reviews
“One of the beauties of this book is that the number of authors is small so that there are cohesiveness and consistency in the style of teaching. …succinctly explains different entities while effectively condensing the pertinent histological findings into one short paragraph. Each disease discussed is accompanied by an abundance of superb quality, color histological illustrations at low power, medium power, and high power… This is a wonderful resource for learning dermatopathology for dermatology residents and a refresher for those who completed residency years ago… texts have been written that are much easier to understand, have color illustrations, and cater to the student aiming to master this information. This is a thoughtful reference for beginners and pros for learning and reinforcing basic and new concepts in dermatopathology. The lectures, flashcards, excellent photography, and clear explanations of key learning points for each disease strike a high mark.”
