Opis

This book shall assist the microscopist in a practical way, with the help of three mainstays, a. clinical information, b. the resources a standard histopathology laboratory may offer and c. the light microscope, to approach and solve the diagnostic problems he/she may face in the field of dermatopa¬thology. In fact, this is the way in which the senior author of this book has been successfully working over thirty years in his capacity as director of a private dermatopathology laboratory.

Blurb

Containing a wealth of updated basic information and high quality of  iconographic material, Dermatopathology can assist the microscopists in a practical way to approach and solve the diagnostic problems they may face in the field.

At a time when esoteric clinical entities and analytic techni­ques come and go, there is a need for a solid, updated, down to earth and "bench oriented" text in the field of dermopathology. This text provides a handbook which may be more helpful than an encyclopedic, "board orien­ted" textbook.

The senior author of this book has been successfully working for over thirty years in his capacity as director of a private dermatopathology laboratory. His experience and knowledge of the subject is reflected in this well-structured and clearly-written text.
