Summary: "This book summarizes the latest advances in the field, covering clinical presentation and features, diagnostic testing, current and new lab techniques, histologic appearances, and differential diagnoses of major skin diseases. For virtually every kind of skin lesion, this skill-sharpening resource has everything clinicians need to successfully perform differential diagnosis at the microscopic level. Barnhill's Dermatopathology features a systematic approach that cuts through the complexity of the discipline's traditional disease-oriented focus, providing a ready-to-use diagnostic approach that puts the entire world of dermatopathology into perspective. The book's vast scope encompasses all skin disease processes - inflammatory, non-inflammatory, infections, and proliferations (hamartomas, hyperplasias, and neoplasms, plus disorders of the nails, oral and genital mucosa, and conjunctiva). This fourth edition includes thoroughly updated and revised chapters ; new detailed appendices on laboratory methods, stains, and updated immunohistochemistry ; newly updated sections on various inflammatory conditions, infections, melanocytic, lymphoid, vascular, and other neoplastic conditions ; more than 1500 high-quality color images ; and two new chapters on disorders of the genital mucosa and tumors of the conjunctiva."-- Provided by publisher.
