uberraschende Heilerfolge und schwere Schadigungen, das sind die beiden Extreme in der Wirkungsweise der Rontgenstrahlen. In allen geeigneten Fallen Heilung zu erzielen, die nicht geeigneten Falle rechtzeitig von der Rontgenbehandlung auszuschliessen, und in jedem Falle eine Schadigung mit Sicherheit zu vermeiden, das ist die Forderung, deren Erfullung mit den Fortschritten in der Technik und in unserer Erkenntnis uber die Wirkungsweise der Strahlen jetzt nahe geruckt ist. Auf vielen Gebieten bringt die medizinische Literatur stets neue Erfolge der Rontgentherapie - die Chirurgie, Gynakologie, Neurologie, innere Medizin und die Dermatologie wetteifern in der Ausnutzung des neuen Heilmittels. Ein klarer Einblick und eigene Erfahrung des Einzelnen auf allen diesen Gebieten sind zur Zeit kaum mehr moglich. Eine genaue Kenntnis der einzelnen Krankheiten und ihres Verlaufes bei Anwendung aller ubrigen Heilmethoden ist erforderlich, um be urteilen zu konnen, in welchen Fallen die Rontgentherapie einen Fortschritt bedeutet. Die Haut ist dasjenige Organ, auf welches bei allen therapeuti schen Bestrahlungen unter allen Umstanden Rucksicht genommen werden muss und deshalb ist die Kenntnis von dem Verhalten der Haut gegen Rontgenstrahlen nicht nur fur den Dermatologen, sondern auch fur die ubrigen Disziplinen von Wichtigkeit. So durfte diese Arbeit, die fur Dermatologen bestimmt ist, in ihrem allgemeinen therapeutischen Teil vielleicht einen weiteren Kreis interessieren. Es ist selbstverstandlich, dass ich mich auf alle mir zugangigen Arbeiten anderer Autoren gestutzt habe; wenn trotzdem in dieser Arbeit alle Literaturangaben fehlen, so ist dies aus dem Grunde ge- IV Vorwort."

This practical book takes the challenge of the dermatopathology sign-out and walks the reader through a diagnostic approach, explaining how to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions and identifying histopathologic features unique to each entity. Through discussion of some 150-200 lineage-unrelated cutaneous neoplastic disorders (primary and secondary), the reader will become familiar with common and sometimes uncommon but clinically relevant conditions. Each chapter adopts a consistent style for quick and easy reading, covering typical microscopic features, clinical vignettes, histological variations, diagnostic pitfalls and differentials, and key diagnostic pearls. Chapters also explain general pathological principles, laboratory processing of specimens and medico-legal aspects of neoplastic dermatopathology. Each copy of the book is packaged with a password, providing online access to all text and images. Written by leading pathologists and educators, this is an essential resource for trainees and more experienced pathologists tackling the daily sign-out as well as board exams in dermatopathology.

Any cutaneous insult results in wound healing and wound healing results in formation of a scar. Human cutaneous scars represent a very important problem in clinical practice. Human cutaneous scars cause both cosmetic and medical problems in people who have them. There are various types of human cutaneous scars: physiologic normotrophic scars, atrophic scars, and proliferative scars. Additionally, there are scar complications that physicians must deal with. Scar complications include unstable scars, contractures and even development of malignancy at worst. Treatment of scars is also challenging especially in case of development of abnormal scars. Human cutaneous scars have various aspects of interest such as biology, clinical significance, patient perspective, prevention, and treatment. There are various preclinical models for studying them. Scarless healing is another item of interest that is observed in fetal wound healing and in some animals. There are various studies specifically examining the biology and the treatment of proliferative scars. The cutaneous scars are very common so every physician will face a cutaneous scar-related problem in his/her medical practice. The significance is indicated by the frequency of burn injury and traffic accidents and by the importance of incision scars for any surgeon. The editors of this book have enormous experience in the clinical management of human cutaneous scars. The editors also studied the biology of abnormal scarring by developing new animal models. The editors also have performed clinical studies to increase therapeutic options for the treatment of abnormal scars. In this hardcover book, the aim is to examine human cutaneous scars in every aspect: historical aspects, clinical significance, biology, laboratory and animal models, histopathology, scarless healing, scar complications, and treatment. In this book, all the available treatment methods are examined in detail.
