Used by generations of physicians who encounter patients with
dermatological diseases, Lever's Dermatopathology: Histopathology
of the Skin comprehensively covers skin disease in which
histopathology plays an important role in diagnosis. The updated
12th Edition, edited by Drs. David E. Elder, Rosalie Elenitsas,
George F. Murphy, Misha Rosenbach, Adam I. Rubin, John T. Seykora,
and Xiaowei Xu, maintains the proven, clinicopathologic
classification of cutaneous disease while incorporating a "primer"
on pattern-algorithm diagnosis. It features larger images
throughout, as well as thoroughly revised content with new diseases
and new information on pathophysiology and molecular
pathogenesis-all in an easy-to-navigate, highly readable format.
More than 2,000 larger, full-color illustrations, including
photomicrographs and clinical photographs, help you visualize and
make the most of the clinical diagnostic process Clinical Summaries
provide a concise clinical review before presenting histologic
features, and Principles of Management sections summarize today's
complex treatment modalities in one convenient place
Ultrastructural, immunohistochemical, and molecular techniques are
discussed where they have value in identifying particular diseases
Numerous tables summarize or compare and contrast similar groups of
diseases A chapter dedicated to algorithmic classification of skin
diseases according to histologic pattern features helps you develop
a differential diagnosis for unknown cases An outstanding resource
for dermatopathologists, pathologists, and dermatologists in
training, practice, and teaching Enrich Your eBook Reading

In surgical pathology practice, distinguishing malignant from
benign melanocytic lesions represents one of the major problem
areas. Failure to diagnose a malignant melanoma can have
catastrophic results, but separating melanomas from their simulants
is often difficult, and over-diagnosis of melanoma is also
inappropriate. This edition presents a comprehensive account of
benign and malignant melanocytic lesions. The benign lesions
encompass the major simulants of melanoma. In addition, some of
them, such as dysplastic nevi, have significance as markers of
individuals at increased risk for the development of melanoma. It
has become ever more apparent, especially with the recent advent of
molecular classification, that melanoma is not one disease, and
that prognosis in melanoma can vary considerably from lesions that
present minimal risk, to dangerous malignancies at opposite ends of
a spectrum. The details of therapy for these lesions are very
different and are determined for the most part by their diagnostic
and prognostic features as judged by microscopy. This edition
explains in detail the use of attributes for microstaging and for
prediction of prognosis in melanoma, including discussion of the
latest AJCC staging system. More importantly, however, it provides
a richly-illustrated roadmap for diagnosis of the entire spectrum
of melanocytic tumours. Discussion of the lesions is firmly
grounded in their clinical significance, with detailed descriptions
of clinical features often accompanied by clinical images. Lesions
in general are illustrated in multiple microscopic images ranging
from scanning magnification to high power. Cytologic as well as
architectural features are clearly delineated. Pathophysiology,
epidemiology, and molecular attributes are also discussed. This
work will serve as a comprehensive text for learning on the part of
trainees, and also as an invaluable diagnostic reference for more
experienced diagnosticians in daily practice.
