The term "lymphoma" was originally used by Billroth in 1871 [55], and by Virehow [763] some years before that, for the designation of swelling of lymph nodes that was not due to "eareinoma, sareoma, ehondroma, myxoma, ete. " In his paper, Billroth reeounted sueeessful treatment with arsenie (" Fowler's solution") of multiple "lymphomas" that had developed in a 40-year-old woman during a 10-month period. From this report it is not entirely clear if the multiple" lymphomas" deseribed were infeetious or if they were eonsis- te nt with what we now mean by "malignant lymphoma. " Today, the term "malignant lymphoma" is generally used eolleetively for malignant lymphoproliferative neoplasms that tend to arise in lymph nodes and also eneompasses Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The adjeetive "malignant" seems somewhat superfluous sinee, in addition to Bill- roth's original eonnotation, the sense of malignaney is nowadays read into the word "lymphoma. " To be sure, true, i. e. , malignant, lymphomas have to be differentiated from "pseudolymphomas," or to put it more exaetly, "pseudomalignant lymphomas. " In this book, "lymphoma" and "malignant lymphoma" are used interehan- geably for malignant neoplastie lymphoproliferative disorders, and "pseudo- lymphoma" is used for benign lymphomatous proeesses. Our editorial eonsultant, Dr. M. Leider, disagrees with all of this. In his Dictionary of Dermatological Words, Terms, and Phrases [421] and other works, he maintains that there is no etymologieal basis for words bearing the eontrived suffix" -oma" or the true Greek suffix" -ma" to denote malignaney.

This book offers a unique insight into the world of cutaneous lymphomas. In addition to the case description it gives the clinical, histological, and in most cases also the phenotypical features and the results of molecular techniques. A commentary puts the observations into the context of cutaneous lymphomas. High quality pictures accompany this exceptional collection of rare and unusual cases. These will interest dermatologists, oncologists, pathologists and hematologists.

Skin cancer is the most frequent malignancy in humans and its incidence is still increasing. This situation calls for major efforts to manage the disease. Preventive measures must include reduced UV exposure and an enhanced common awareness of skin lesions. Advanced surgical techniques allow safe removal with excellent cosmetic results. In many cases alternative treatment modalities such as radiotherapy, cryosurgery and photodynamic therapy are applicable. The development of optimal sun screens and UV-protective clothes, new tools for early diagnosis of malignant lesions including videomicroscopy, improved evaluation of biopsy material and new treatment schemes will contribute to better patient care. New developments in therapy including pegylated interferons, cytokine-inducing molecules, monoclonal antibodies and vaccination approaches using peptides, dendritic cells, viruses or nDNA give hope for well-tolerated and efficient treatments.

Improve your dermatological diagnostic accuracy. The most efficient method in the diagnosis of skin diseases is the combined validation of clinical and histopathological features. The results of biopsy investigation in isolation don t always yield answers. But when considered together, the clinical pattern and the histopathology, then diagnosis can become clearer. In this process the diagnostic impact of histopathology may be decisive or just confirmative to the clinical differential diagnosis. The structure of the book follows a basic approach to morphology, which is overall orientation at scanning magnification first, then identifying a prototypic pattern, and finally finding the essential diagnostic clue(s) under high power magnification. Dermatopathology: Practical Differential Diagnosis by Clinicopathologic Pattern provides top quality images to correlate clinical presentations with histopathologic features. Annotated images highlight subtle indications that can clinch the diagnosis. Concise, bullet-pointed text provides further context. Written by internationally renowned authors, the book is ideal for anyone involved in the diagnosis of skin disease.

Dieses grundlegende, verlassliche und ubersichtliche Nachschlagewerk ermoeglicht angehenden und praktizierenden Dermatologen die prazise und zielfuhrende Diagnose von Hauterkrankungen. In ausgewogener Weise finden klinische und histopathologische Merkmale Berucksichtigung. Eine Vielzahl von Erkrankungen lassen sich direkt und musterbasiert identifizieren, wobei die Diagnosekriterien weit heruntergebrochen werden. Erganzt werden die Ausfuhrungen durch 250 hochwertige Bilder, anhand derer Dermatologen ihre Befunde vergleichen koennen.

Nach tiber 30 Jahren konnte 1983 die X. Fortbildungswoche fUr praktische Dermato- logie und Venerologie stattfinden. Mit Weitsicht hatte mein Vorgiinger im Amte, Professor Dr. Alfred Marchionini nach dem 2. Weltkrieg die Fortbildung als wesent- liches Prinzip iirztlicher Tiitigkeit erkannt und bereits 1951 den ersten Fortbildungs- kurs fUr praktische Dermatologie und Venerologie an der Dermatologischen Klinik und Poliklinik der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitiit durchgeftihrt. 1m Vorwort zu dem ersten Fortbildungsband lesen wir aus der Feder von Alfred Marchionini: "Wiihrend die Fortbildung der Fachiirzte fUr Dermatologie in einer Reihe von Liin- dern - ich denke etwa an die USA oder an Italien - seit langer Zeit bestens organisiert ist, so daB in regelmiiBigen Abstiinden entsprechende Kurse stattfinden, hat sie sich in Deutschland noch wenig eingebtirgert". Seit diesem ersten Fortbildungskurs 1951 ist viel Zeit in's Land gegangen. Festzu- stell en bleibt, daB an den Munchner Fortbildungstagen von Mal zu Mal grol3eres Interesse bei den Fachkollegen bestand, sodal3 es 1973 notwendig wurde, mit dieser Veranstaltung aus dem Klinikrahmen herauszugehen und sie in das Sheraton Hotel, Mtinchen, zu verlegen. SchlieBlich hat sich innerhalb der letzten 16 Jahre aus dem relativ kleinen "Fortbildungskurs" an der Munchner Klinik eine internationale Fort- bildungswoche fUr praktische Dermatologie und Venerologie entwickelt, die nicht nur Dermatologen in unserem Lande, sondern auch Dermatologen im deutschsprachigen Auslande ein Fortbildungsforum bieten soIl.
