Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, widely used diagnostic tool that aids the diagnosis of skin lesions and is proven to increase the accuracy of melanoma diagnosis. This colour atlas is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis of skin lesions and melanomas using a dermoscope. Beginning with an introduction to the use of the dermascope, the following chapters teach clinicians how to recognise dermoscopic criteria, colours and patterns, how to diagnose different types of lesions and calculate diagnostic algorithms. The finals sections cover related topics including entomodermatoscopy, inflammatoscopy, trichoscopy and capilaroscopy. This highly useful resource is enhanced by more than 1000 clinical images and illustrations.

The rise in popularity of dermoscopy has meant that more and more practitioners need a ready reference to consult in a clinical setting where larger atlases are less practical. The Handbook of Dermoscopy features a wealth of photographs, checklists, and algorithms to assist in spot diagnoses. Coverage includes melanocytic lesions, seborrheic kerato

This practical atlas describes the use of dermatoscopy in the clinic, a technique that is increasingly used by the clinical dermatologist. It revolves around the use of clinical cases, simulating what happens in the clinic when the dermatologist is presented with a patient who has pigmented and non-pigmented lesions. Dermatologists perform diagnoses based on what they see on the skin and with these images recognize different diseases. This whole spectrum of forms and shapes is reflected in color. Dermatoscopy opens a new and very wide field of structures and colors that cannot be seen with the naked eye and, with appropriate training and the use of this book, improves clinical diagnosis. Atlas of Dermatoscopy Cases: Challenging and Complex Clinical Scenarios adds significantly to the analysis of cases from the Editors’ previous volume Comprehensive Atlas of Dermatoscopy Cases by teaching the technique through specially selected, complex, and interesting clinical cases and providing the reader a thorough understanding of the techniques and methodologies associated with diagnosis using dermatoscopy. It is of great use to the trainee dermatologist and any practicing dermatologist seeking to expand their skills with this important diagnostic tool.

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, widely used diagnostic tool that aids the diagnosis of skin lesions and is proven to increase the accuracy of melanoma diagnosis. This book is a practical guide to dermoscopy for clinicians. The text begins with an overview of the technique, how it links clinical dermatology and histopathology, the dermoscope, and pattern recognition. The following sections provide in depth coverage of the application of dermoscopy and clinical features in the diagnosis of different dermatologic disorders, including vascular lesions, skin tumours, autoimmune dermatoses, pigmentary disorders, and much more. The final chapters discuss dermoscopy in diagnostic dilemmas and in therapeutic monitoring, also providing a selection of algorithms to assist learning. The text is highly illustrated with more than 500 clinical images and each topic concludes with a keynote message summarising the salient dermoscopic features. Key points Practical guide to diagnostic dermoscopy for clinicians In depth discussion on use of the dermoscope, histopathology, and pattern recognition Covers numerous dermatologic disorders Keynote messages summarise salient points to assist learning

The aim of this atlas is to provide detailed and comprehensive, easy-to-use information, sufficient to perform trichoscopy in clinical practice. From basics to advanced knowledge, everything in one book. In this sense it is rather an “illustrated textbook” than solely an atlas. It includes evidence based information, acknowledged algorithms, which help easy diagnosis and “take home messages”, which aid memorizing specific features of diverse diseases. The atlas consists of two major parts. In the first part the authors describe structures and patterns seen in trichoscopy. The second part consists of detailed description of characteristic trichoscopy features of diverse diseases of hair and scalp. Consecutive chapters illustrate genetic hair disorders, acquired hair loss and scalp diseases.

The continous worldwide demand for this standard atlas prompted the authors to assemble an updated and enlarged second edition. Recent developments and insights are described in a new chapter on "Advanced Dermatoscopical Diagnosis." It covers new aspects, predominantly on pathological changes of the facial skin, such as in melanoma. Approximately 70 illustrations have been included keeping the didactical concept of combining macro- and microscopical images in one figure plate.

ATLAS OF GENITAL DERMOSCOPY Edited by Giuseppe Micali, MD and Francesco Lacarrubba, MD Dermatology Clinic, University of Catania, Italy Dermoscopy, a non-invasive modern tool to enhance the diagnosis and monitoring of pigmented and non-pigmented skin disorders, is particularly suitable for use in the genital area, in which traditional invasive diagnostic procedures may be difficult or painful for the patient. Dermatologists, family physicians, and those involved in Sexual Health medicine will all benefit from this atlas showing the applications of dermoscopy in several external genital disorders both in males and females with large high-resolution color photographs throughout.

Filled with figures, tables, and schematics, Atlas of Dermoscopy introduces dermoscopy and provides a guidebook for those who use it regularly in their practice. Dr. Alfred W. Kopf, a pioneer in education and in the clinical aspects of malignant melanoma, has joined forces with Dr. Ralph Braun and Dr. Ashfaq Marghoob to produce this concise and pra

This atlas presents dermoscopic-histopathological correlations of dermatologic and pathological presentations seen in the Asian subcontinent. The disorders have been explained with the help of state of the art clinical, dermoscopic and pathological figures of various entities in skin of color. The format has been kept simple and easy to understand which is deciphered through dermoscopic and histopathological correlation. This title also emphasizes on atypical presentations and rare dermoscopic features with the help of thorough description covering clinical and pathological manifestations, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis. Written for dermatologists, dermato-pathologists, dermoscopists and residents of dermatology, this atlas is a detailed visual guide to effectively evaluate and diagnose various skin disorders.
