Diagnosis of Cutaneous Lymphoid Infiltrates

This volume is the first of its kind to emphasize the visual approach in the diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoid infiltrates. Written and designed in an accessible yet highly detailed format by an expert in the field, this book bridges the knowledge gaps so often found when dealing with skin lymphomas. Complete with more than two hundred high quality images and illustrations, Diagnosis of Cutaneous Lymphoid Infiltrates offers pearls and pitfalls as well as differential diagnoses. Additionally, images are explained and decoded with the use of illustrations and analogies, proving to be an invaluable resource for pathologists, dermatologists, dermatopathologists, hematopathologists, and residents and fellows in these fields.

Identifies knowledge gaps in the diagnosis of skin lymphoma using a visual approach to learning Includes more than 250 high quality color photographs and illustrations Reviews a wide assortment of cutaneous lymphomas and pseudolymphomas Reconciles conflicting clinical, histopathologic, and molecular findings Assists physicians in recognizing and becoming familiar with less common types of cutaneous lymphomas Written for pathologists, dermatologists, dermatopathologists, hematopathologists, and residents and fellows in these fields
