Lever's Histopathology of the Skin is a classic, comprehensive work that has been used by generations of dermatopathologists, pathologists, and dermatologists to further their knowledge, in their current practices, and in the training of their students. The pathophysiologic organization is based on Walter Lever's original scheme, with appropriate modifications over the years, and is more efficient than the pattern method, since related entities are discussed in juxtaposition. This edition contains over 1,400 full-color illustrations, including photomicrographs and clinical photographs of diseases not covered in previous editions. The chapter on algorithmic pattern recognition has been expanded and extensively cross-referenced to the chapters on diseases to aid readers in generating differential diagnoses for unknown cases. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.
Diagnosis is often the most challenging part of dermatology. Diagnostic dermatology melds both clinical and histopathologic diagnosis by correlating the clinical and microscopic features of skin disease. This book is a heavily illustrated comprehensive overview of clinical dermatology and dermatopathology that will provide the reader with the tools to accurately diagnose skin disease in the dog and cat. The book will prove an indispensable reference for veterinary dermatologists, diagnostic pathologists, and small animal practitioners who seek to improve their skill in diagnostic dermatology. Completely revised second edition, with many new disease descriptions Now with colour clinical photographs illustrating all of the non-neoplastic skin diseases (previous edition had black and white photographs only) Written by internationally renowned experts, it provides a comprehensive overview of clinical dermatology and dermatopathology for all those interested in skin diseases of dogs and cats.
Thoroughly revised and updated, this comprehensive, authoritative reference will help both the experienced and novice practitioner diagnose skin diseases and disorders more accurately and effectively. A superb full colour art program illustrating both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions will help the clinician easily interpret key clinical and diagnostic points.
McKee's Pathology of the Skin is the most complete, in-depth resource on dermatopathology, covering etiology, pathogenesis, disease mechanisms, and recent genetic, molecular, and basic science data. Drs. J. Eduardo Calonje, Thomas Brenn, Alexander Lazar, and Phillip McKee present new illustrations, updated chapters, and coverage of new entities such as lymphomas, cutaneous tissue tumors, diseases of the nail, and more in this extensively revised fourth edition. This new edition is an absolute must for practicing dermatopathologists and general pathologists who sign out skin biopsies. It has over 5,000 images and new chapters on the pathology of HIV/AIDS, conjunctival tumors, sentinel lymph node biopsies, laboratory techniques in dermatopathology and a section on the pathology of salivary gland tumors. Also, the chapters on disorders of keratinization and diseases of the nails have been completely updated. With access to the full text, image and video bank online at www.expertconsult.com, you'll have convenient access to the guidance you need to formulate the most accurate reports.

Written for trainees as well as experienced dermatopathologists, this 3rd edition of the Atlas And Synopsis Of Lever's Histopathology Of The Skin provides a systematic approach to diagnosing skin diseases. Classifying skin diseases by location, reaction patterns, and cell type if applicable, this new edition greatly improves the ability of the reader to recognize a wide variety of skin diseases and help in the development of differential diagnoses. Written to be a useful reference tool and teaching aid rather than a comprehensive textbook, this guide will aid dermatopathologists of all experience levels in the understanding of cutaneous reaction patterns and diagnosis. FEATURES * Expanded table of contents -- key to the skin disease classification system * Sections are color-coded for ease of reference throughout book * New tables compare "lookalike" diseases * Over 1600 color images * Each disease illustrated with multiple color photomicrographs * Online image bank
SPANKING NEW AND RIVETINGLY NOVEL! The third edition of Histologic Diagnosis of Inflammatory Skin Diseases: An Algorithmic Method Based on Pattern Analysis is enhanced exponentially by the integration of print and electronic media. The work is composed of 11 chapters, 9 of which are housed in the printed volume. Chapters 10 and 11, namely, Inflammatory Diseases and Simulators of Inflammatory Diseases, are ensconced exclusively on Derm101.com, but the nine chapters that constitute the book also are available online. The book provides a user with a series of web links that serve as bridges between the print and the electronic product. The bridges lead to all of the inflammatory diseases and simulators of them that are constituents of Interactive Quizzes, the Lecture Library, A Clinical Atlas of 101 Common Skin Diseases, four volumes of Differential Diagnosis in Dermatopathology, three volumes of Clues to Diagnosis in Dermatopathology, and two volumes of Resolving Quandaries in Dermatopathology, each of those subjects in those volumes having been edited newly, extensively, and profoundly. After entering a web link number, a student of a particular inflammatory disease will be directed to everything in the arsenal of Derm101.com pertaining to it, including that in the avant-garde journal, Dermatopathology: Practical & Conceptual. Along with purchase of the book comes one year of access to the online-only portion of the book, as well as to all of the resources of Derm101.com.
A comprehensive review of all the vascular proliferations involving the skin and subcutaneous tissue, including recently described disease entities. Superbly illustrated with both clinical and histopathologic photographs, the book moves from a proposed new system of classification and nomenclature for vascular neoplasms, to a full discussion of benign and malignant proliferations, including hamartomas, benign neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and several related newly reported diseases. The authors describe in-depth the clinical and morphologic aspects of each entity and detail their clinicopathologic correlation, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy.
This lavishly illustrated guide from experts will enable practitioners to get the most out of dermoscopy for investigations and treatments in general dermatology.

The WHO Classification of Skin Tumours is the 11th volume in the 4th edition of the WHO series on the classification of human tumours. The series (also known as the Blue Books) has long been regarded by pathologists as the gold standard for the diagnosis of tumours, and it is an indispensable guide for the design of evaluations, clinical trials, and studies involving cancer. These authoritative and concise reference books provide an international standard for anyone involved in cancer research or the care of cancer patients. Diagnostic criteria, pathological features, and genetic and other associated molecular alterations are described in a disease-oriented manner. This volume updates the existing ICD-O codes and provides new codes for use in epidemiology and cancer registration. It also provides information on clinical features, pathology, genetics, prognosis, and protective factors for each of the tumour types covered. The editors expect that this volume will be of particular interest to pathologists, oncologists, and dermatologists who manage or research skin tumours. Sections are included on all recognized neoplasms (and their variants) of the skin and its adnexae. Since the previous edition, there have been particularly substantial changes to the classification of melanoma, based on the latest information from genetic and molecular studies.
