 | Deadly Dermatologic Diseases The central theme of this book entails disorders capable of directly or indirectly causing death of the patient. The book is organized around four sections dealing with dermatologic diseases involving serious cutaneous malignancies.
The sections are organized alphabetically and color-coded for easy reference. Approximately 40 disease states are discussed with accompanying full-color clinical and microscopic photography. Each entity contains a single clinical photograph accompanied by three photomicrographs detailing the diagnostic features of each case.
Subsections detailing disease prognosis with a current bibliography of each disease state are presented in a succinct bullet-style manner.
The pedagogical value of this book is its unique presentation of a variety of dermatologic entities capable of leading to death or to serious medical consequences. It is important that clinicians and pathologists are appraised of these important public health concerns.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains a multimedia atlas, containing every figure and figure legend in the book. With both a 'review' and 'test' mode, the user will have an excellent tool for self-evaluation and practice for certification exams.
