Atlas of Essential Dermatopathology

Beschreibung

The book is not intended to be an all-encompassing atlas or textbook but rather a foundation of principles in dermatopathology, highlighting key elements in the field for trainees and will also serve as a basic resource for the pathologist in general practice. In addition to the sketches and minimal text, we envision accompanying high resolution histopathologic micrographs for ultimate correlation as well. Dermatopathology often presents considerable difficulty for the dermatologist in training when defining the subtle differences in the appearance of various conditions. This Atlas of Essential Dermatopathology is based on materials developed during dermatopathology teaching signout at the Massachusetts General Hospital and replicates the experience at the microscope. It contains numerous hand drawn sketches and tables plus stunning histological images to describe the appearances of common dermatologic conditions. Each chapter is brief and focuses on the main learning points. Tables of special stains, immunohistochemical markers and a glossary of terms are also included to broaden the reader s experience.
The content is based on the most frequently encountered processes in the MGH Dermatopathology Unit; it is not intended to be comprehensive but rather an outline and atlas of the essentials in diagnostic dermatopathology. This book will therefore be an indispensable primer for trainees of all levels students and residents alike in dermatology and pathology.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"Focusing on the most essential processes in dermatopathology, this book consists primarily of an atlas of excellent photomicrographs and one author's valuable sketches. The author's objective is to produce a primer for trainees at all levels, a worthy objective. This is a valuable book for medical students and first year pathology and dermatology residents, and trainees in other fields would find it useful as well." (Barbara M. Egbert, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2013)
