About this title

Review:

“This book is like an encyclopaedia. The authors have covered the entire spectrum of clinical and pathological aspects in considerable detail; thus, the book will be of use to neophytes as well as more experienced clinical and histological diagnosticians. ... this book is a welcome addition to the dermato-pathology library.” (M. K. Singh, The National Medical Journal of India, Vol. 30 (3), May-June, 2017)

“The audience includes dermatologists and surgical pathologists with an interest in dermatopathology. Residents and fellows training in these fields also would find this of interest. ... This volume concisely covers the major dermatologic entities encountered by surgical pathologists or dermatopathologists in daily practice. It would be helpful for practitioners who wish to quickly search for a specific term while in the clinic or at the microscope.” (Kyle D. Perry, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2016)
