Author Description

The Demos Surgical Pathology Guides series presents in summary and visual form the basic knowledge base that every practicing pathologist needs every working day. Series volumes cover the major specialty areas of surgical pathology, and coverage emphasizes the key entities and diagnoses that pathologists will see in practice, and that they must know whether in training or practice. The emphasis is on the basic morphology with newer techniques represented where they are frequently used. The series provides a handy summary and quick reference that any pathology resident or fellow will find useful. Experienced practitioners will find the series valuable as a portable "refresher course" or review tool. Neoplastic Lesions of the Skin presents the full gamut of skin lesion disorders and diagnoses that pathologists commonly see in practice. Traditional morphology and histopathologic features, coupled with clinical data, are emphasized. Chapters are complemented with both high-power images for analysis of cytologic features of skin lesions cells as well as low-power images for assessment of skin lesion architecture The chapters cover epithelial and epidermal lesions; adnexal lesions; cysts; connective tissue tumors, neural neoplasms; and pigmented lesions of the skin. Neoplastic Lesions of the Skin is highly illustrated throughout and provides residents and clinicians with a quick reference for rotation or review.
