2nd Edition
by Jonathan Bowling (Editor), John Paoli (Consultant Editor), Alex Chamberlain (Consultant Editor)
Diagnostic Dermoscopy
delivers a focused, practical and user-friendly guide to diagnosing the
most frequently seen presentations of skin lesions practitioners
encounter in clinic. The new edition offers a comprehensive collection
of strategies to find and diagnose skin cancers at an earlier point in
their evolution, and to increase confidence in diagnosing benign lesions
to reduce both patient morbidity and mortality.
The
many full-colour illustrations included within are standardised to aid
in recognition, while the adjoining dermoscopy images focus on critical
diagnostic features which, when combined with the provided clinical
information, are sufficient for specific diagnoses or narrow
differential diagnoses. The new edition is formatted to aid
teledermoscopy education, including many illustrated cases for
reference. Diagnostic Dermoscopy offers:
- A comprehensive overview of melanocytic lesions, melanoma presentations, and non-melanocytic lesions
- Thorough explorations of basal cell carcinoma and keratinocyte dysplasia
- Practical discussions of several special sites, including acral, nail, facial, and scalp lesions, as well as trichoscopy
- In-depth examinations of vascular lesions, inflammoscopy for general dermatology, and entomodermoscopy
- Detailed illustrations of genetic and iatrogenic lesions
- Tips from international experts in melanoma diagnosis
Diagnostic Dermoscopy
is the ideal resource for dermatologists, primary care physicians,
plastic surgeons and allied health practitioners involved in skin lesion
and melanoma diagnosis.
