  • Dermatologie. De la clinique à la microscopie

    • 1st Edition
    • Bernard Cribier + 1 more
    • French
    Ce livre présente pour la première fois près de 500 entités ou formes cliniques de maladies cutanées toutes illustrées par la photographie clinique et la microscopie. Il est donc un outil indispensable au pathologiste qui pratique la dermatopathologie : chaque entité est décrite par un texte concis donnant l'ensemble des signes cliniques et microscopiques. Elle est illustrée de façon à appréhender le diagnostic et la corrélation anatomo-clinique. Les dermatologues y trouvent les bases iconographiques et sémantiques pour une prise en charge optimale de leurs patients (diagnostic, compréhension des signes, interprétation des comptes-rendus d'anatomie pathologique et rapports avec les pathologistes). On comprend toujours mieux la dermatologie clinique quand on a l'explication microscopique en regard. Dans cette perspective, ce livre complète idéalement le traité de Dermatologie (Saurat), dont il suit le plan pas à pas.
