Provides comprehensive coverage of the full spectrum of dermatopathological entities, both inflammatory and neoplastic, highlighted by more than 1,800 color photomicrographs that illustrate the full range of pathologic appearances and help identify each diagnostic entity
Helps you arrive at the most accurate diagnoses possible by demonstrating what is seen through the microscope and identifying the characteristic features of the lesion—for established disorders, unusual and rare disease entities, and incompletely defined entities
Includes new information on molecular diagnostics throughout, including FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) techniques, plus new developments in molecular biology and molecular techniques, targeted-personalized medicine, and immunohistochemistry
Contains more tables for quick reference, new figures that demonstrate key differential diagnostic points, and discussions of new entities, as well as thorough content updates in every section
Includes practical advice on diagnostic pitfalls and how to avoid them to help minimize reporting errors, and diagnostic clues to assist both experienced and novice practitioners in formulating an accurate diagnosis
Identifies both important articles and more rare and unusual reports with remarkably authoritative, comprehensive, current, and relevant reference lists (over 35,000) for each entity
