Inflammatory
Dermatoses: The Basics will serve as an effective and
efficient handbook for the student of
dermatopathology, and as a
practical bench reference for the practicing diagnostician who desires
rapid access to
criteria that are useful in differentiating
histologically similar entities. The reader will be able to focus upon a
single histologic observation, i.e., i
nflammatory conditions without
epidermal changes, and use this as a starting point from which to build a
differential diagnosis
based upon pattern recognition. As each entity
is
addressed, there will be a
concise discussion of the basic clinical
findings and epidemiologic associations. This will be
followed by a
histologic description, highlighting areas that serve to discriminate
between the entity under discussion and similar ones. Any
immunologic studies that might augment the diagnostic sensitivity or specificity
will be discussed. The chapters are thematically based and consist of
essential bullet points arranged in organized outlines
allowing for easy
access and direct comparison between entities. The salient histologic
features are depicted with abundant high quality, full-color
photomicrographs placed immediately adjacent to the appropriate
histologic bullet points. This volume will serve as an effective and
efficient
handbook for the student of
dermatopathology, and as a
practical bench reference for the practicing diagnostician who desires
rapid access to criteria that are useful in differentiating
histologically similar entities. The elaborate pictorial
documentation will also enable the book to serve as an atlas of the commonest
dermatologic disorders.
