Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Improved on the first edition
This second edition maintains it's reputation as the best bench top dermatopathology book on the market. It is concise, beautifully laid out and illustrated with an excellent differential diagnoses section attached to each described entity which really helps when you are trying to work out what a lesion might be.
For clinicians the the first chapter is an invaluable series of lists of causes for both clinical features and pathological signs with links to the relevant descriptions in the book. I find myself referring to it frequently and always finding something I had not thought about.
The Expert Consult online version of the book, which is free with the printed version, is also very good, providing access via any computer or tablet. There are many additional clinical images here that are not in the printed version which reflect Dr Rapini's background as a clinical dermatologist as well as a dermatopathologist. He was in Australia recently lecturing at our Dermpath Meeting. The book does not capture his entertaining speaking style except for occasional flashes of wit which is probably as it should be for a serious book like this. This book does not disappoint!

Must have Dermpath reference

This is a fantastic book. Anyone signing out skin biopsies needs to have this book right near their scope. It has great lists of differential diagnoses in the first chapter, and the photomicrographs are excellent throughout the book. Highly recommend.
