A new volume in the Surgical Pathology: Case-Based Approach to Diagnosis series, Dermatopathology offers a practical, real-world approach to this complex area of surgical pathology. Actual cases, highlighted by hundreds of high-quality clinical and histologic photographs, help you learn and retain key information, including which pathologic findings are clinically significant and which are not. Useful as both an everyday bench-side reference and as an authoritative review for certification and recertification exams, this resource uses diagnostically relevant cases to teach how to evaluate and interpret even the most challenging lesions.
