Opis

Skin lesions are often the first sign for an endocrine disease. Their description is thus of relevance for early diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disease for specialists in endocrinology as well as in dermatology. Lavishly illustrated, this book describes the clinical and histological features of skin lesions observed in endocrine diseases. All features are reader-friendly structured and written in the language of dermatologists in order to enable a simple association between the features observed and the endocrine etiology.

Aus den Rezensionen: "Ein Buch wie eine Praline zu genießen. ... Im Buch werden die Themen systematisch nach den großen Endokrinopathie-Komplexen und den wichtigsten Hormonen dargestellt. Bekannten Hautbildern wie die Haut bei Morbus Cushing, Addision ... widmet sich das Buch mit gleicher Aufmerksamkeit wie diesen seltenen Krankheiten. ...
