This highly visual resource helps you hone your skills in visual recognition with a practical focus on images of clinical and histopathologic skin diseases rather than dense text. The unique format enhances your learning experience and offers clear examples of a successful framework that can be used when approaching a patient.
-
Content organized by visual patterns (color, shape, pattern, and body part), maximizing your ability to recognize disease – the same way a patient would normally present in the clinic.
-
High-quality clinical and microscopic images for nearly all entities, helping to enhance your diagnostic and clinicopathologic correlation skills.
-
Key difference pages, enabling you to quickly compare and contrast different diseases in a given differential diagnosis that can look similar but are distinguishable.
-
Newly reorganized, color-coded table of contents for quicker navigation.
-
New flashcards online to test your ability to recognize diseases by visual presentation.
-
Case reviews that provide clear examples of specific approaches to patient evaluation.
-
Enhanced eBook version included with purchase, which allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
