A great quick go-to book
Neoplastic Dermatopathology is one of the latest additions to Amirsys series of Diagnostic Pathology. The book has multiple contributors, but the general format for each lesion discussed is similar which results in a similar style throughout. Each entity has a Key Facts Box and in outline form sections which cover terminology, etiology, clinical issues, macroscopic findings, microscopic findings, differential diagnosis, and selected references. For selected neoplasms, additonal features include radiological images, detailed immunohistochemistry, and other ancillary tests. The quality of the photomicrographs, with rare exception, are excellent and representative. Some photomicrographs would be better if enlarged. The book also has a large antibody index, and also more extensive photomicrographs for differential diagnostic considerations and expanded tables for some neoplasms. The list of neoplasms included is extensive and covers considerably more lesions than any conventional dermatopathology text. Undoubtedly there are a few missing, but with new entities described on a monthly basis, it is impossible to capture all. I do have a couple of complaints. One is the numbering of pages. Instead of just a single number, the publishers apparently insisted on a more complex format which includes a part number, section number and page number! It takes a little time to get used to this system. Also, although the selected references are more than adequate, for multi-authored references only one author is listed which is not standard. Overall, one can look at this text as companion for any of the standard dermatopathology textbooks for it expansive coverage of cutaneous neoplasms in a similar fashion to Ackerman's text as a companion for inflammatory dermatosis. I would recommend this book for both dermatopathologists and surgical pathologists.
Key information at your fingertips
This is a must-have "work horse" textbook for dermatopathologists. It contains current, essential yet comprehensive facts needed to streamline one's clinical/histologic differential and to make an accurate diagnosis. The text layout and succinct language lends itself to easy reading and efficient navigation. The gross and microscopic images are of high quality and have very helpful corresponding captions...with arrows! Bottomline - very useful text for one's daily dermatopathology practice.
a new great DP text book
This new book is very well organized. It covers all skin neoplasms in a very concise manner. The pictures are great and are annotated.
A great book for dermatopathology
This book is an extremely helpful look at skin tumors. It is an atlas format and thus the text is easy to read, but comprehensive for an atlas. Many of the pages have multiple photographs per page and the photographs are beautiful. There are microscopic as well as gross photos, and gross photos are often missing from pathology books. The section of skin lymphomas is particularly helpful for a general surgical pathologist, since skin lymphomas is often a small part of derm path txts. I will keep this on my shelf and use it for years to come.
