Summary |
Dermoscopy (also known as surface microscopy) is a clinical technique which allows the detailed examination of pigmented skin lesions and which is more accurate diagnostically than other clinical approaches. This well-illustrated, highly acclaimed reference (previously titled An Atlas of Surface Microscopy of Pigmented Skin Lesions) is one of the first to document this pioneering technique and provide a complete understanding of the use of dermoscopy. It explains the diagnostic features and examines benign, melanocytic, melanoma and non-melanocytic pigmented lesions...Features...Quality reproduction and images from the world's biggest melanoma database. Addition of more than 200 illustrations and shape recognition for increased conceptual understanding |
