Inflammatory Dermatoses: The Basics
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., inflammatory 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.
