Pathology of Melanocytic Disorders 2ed
Hodder Arnold (Verlag)
978-0-340-80968-6 (ISBN)
This authoritative reference work and practical bench book provides a thorough clinico-pathologic analysis of melanocytic disorders, as well as effective practical guidance in the diagnosis of problem lesions. The authors, both renowned experts in surgical pathology of tumors, expansively discuss clinical and microscopic characteristics of a very wide spectrum of melanocytic lesions. Key diagnostic features as well as potential pitfalls are highlighted in reader-friendly tables, facilitating quick reference in a busy diagnostic pathology practice. Pertinent up-to-date references are included and the index has been meticulously compiled.
From reviews of the previous edition:'I strongly recommend this book to everyone interested in benign or malignant melanocytic disorders'. The New England Journal of Medicine
'Any histopathologist or histopathology department with skin biopsies to report should have a copy of this book.' Histopathology
'This book is undoubtedly a real advance for the diagnostic pathologist and I would recommend it to all departments: it will probably become the standard text on pigmented lesions' The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists
'I found the book a pleasure to read. It is to be highly recommended for all routine pathological departments; those dealing with only occasional cases will easily find guidance and reassurance; those departments dealing with large numbers will find it helpful in the more unusual case.' The Journal of Pathology
