Opis

Formerly a highly regarded title in the Biopsy Pathology series, this book aims to be the gold standard work on the pathology of melanocytic disorders, while also functioning as a bench book. It covers the field comprehensively, including clinical data and photographs, as well as covering the basic mechanisms of pathogenesis in an introductory chapter. The main content of the book consists of the differential diagnosis of biopsy appearances, accompanied by high quality photographs to illustrate salient diagnostic features. As in the first edition, the text is supplemented by tables of diagnostic criteria for quick reference.

Recenzje

"This text not only presents an excellent discussion of the relevant literature, but also effectively incorporates the extensive practical experience of the 2 distinguished authors. It can not only be used gainfully beside the microscope by a resident learning about this complex field, but will also serve as a trusted reference text for experienced pathologists encountering the less routine melanocytic entities."
