Cutaneous Pathology

Rating:
Summary: An exellent affordable dermatopathology text
Review: This book fills a special niche in the field of dermatopathology texts. Many excellent texts are available unfortunately the average student or resident cannot afford to buy color illustrated large volume texts. This selection is affordable and well designed to teach dermatopathology to the pathology resident, dermatology resident or interested student. The illustrations are clear and easy to follow with the accompanying arrows. While the range of entities discussed is not encyclopedic the full range of expected entities are present. Overall a good value and useful book for someone just introduced to the field.

Summary: Good basic dermatopathology book.
Review: This is a good basic pathology book with good black and white photos. The strength of this book is that all of the features are illustrated with pointers to the significant feature. The drawbacks are that the photomicrographs are not in color and the text is not all encompassing. Some of the newer immunohistochemical staining techniques are not fully explained.
