Nonneoplastic dermatopathology is sometimes seen as one of the most difficult parts of pathology residency training, and it can represent a very confusing subject for the general pathologist who does not see these types of cases on a regular basis. Part of the difficulty is due to the importance of clinical correlation. Although important in all of medicine, clinicopathologic correlation may be most important in nonneoplastic dermatopathology, as clinically striking lesions can have near normal histologic findings, and prominent histologic changes may lead to less than impressive clinical manifestations. Moreover, many clinical entities are not often seen or taught outside of a specific rotation in dermatology or dermatopathology.
Diagnostic Pathology: Nonneoplastic Dermatopathology, Second Edition therefore includes clinical images of nearly all the entities discussed, 250 in all (with approximately 90 new entities in this second edition). We hope that in-training and practicing pathologists will gain a better understanding of the clinical and histopathologic appearance of these lesions and, more importantly, their major histologic and clinical differential diagnoses.
We also anticipate that dermatologists and dermatopathologists can benefit from this book. Classic histologic images highlight the most important findings, allowing more confident diagnoses and histologic differential diagnoses. This book can also be used as a great study aid for fellows studying for their dermatopathology boards. The quality of the more than 1,500 clinical and histologic images in this book is not easily matched, thanks to the many contributing authors and the work of the image editors at Elsevier.
The book is organized into major histologic reaction patterns &/or disease categories. Within each section, we have attempted to organize entities in order of decreasing frequency usually encountered in general practice. We have also added numerous entities in this second edition in the hopes of producing a more consummate tome.
Our hope is to make the confusing subject of inflammatory dermatopathology much easier to comprehend and master, such that no important diagnoses will be easily overlooked or missed, therefore, improving patient care whether offered by pathologists or dermatologists. The eBook version of this book, Expert Consult, makes Diagnostic Pathology: Nonneoplastic Dermatopathology a comprehensive and easily searchable reference.
