Dermatopathology: Diagnosis by First Impression

Dermatopathology: Diagnosis by First Impression

Discover the most comprehensive and up-to-date edition of a pattern-based dermatopathology atlas designed for both trainees and practicing physicians. Dermatopathology: Diagnosis by First Impression provides an authoritative guide that facilitates the microscopic differentiation of visually similar dermatological diseases.

This fourth edition boasts exciting new features, including:

• New sections on alopecia and immunohistochemistry
• Over 100 new high-resolution photomicrographs, bringing the total to almost 1000 annotated figures
• “Key Differences” pages that help identify distinctive diagnostic features
• Easy-to-use disease-based and alphabetical indexes for quick information retrieval

Unique among dermatopathology atlases, this book is organized by microscopic pattern rather than disease category, making it the ideal companion for slide analysis. Additionally, it offers:

• • An introduction to gestalt diagnosis
  • A focus on both architectural patterns and cell type/morphology
  • Practical discussions on immunohistochemistry
  • Expanded sections covering melanocytic, soft tissue, and lymphoid lesions as well as alopecia
