Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Eva Brehmer-Andersson has brought her great experience to bear in writing this excellent book. ... The book is very well illustrated in black and white. ... quality of the photographs is high. ... the book is intended to serve as an introduction to dermatopathology for future pathologists and dermatologists. ... I think that the book has its greatest value for those with experience and particular interest in dermatopathology who want to gain new and deeper understanding of those aspects that are discussed in more detail." (Per Westermark, Acta Dermato-Venereologica, Vol. 87, 2007)
