DESCRIPTION
Hematopathology of the Skin
provides an up-to-date, inter-
disciplinary approach to this complex field. Unparalleled in
scope, this comprehensive text features a logical, consistent
format heavily illustrated with high-quality clinical and path-
ological images throughout. More than 40 leading dermatopathologists, hematopathologists, and
dermatologists from major academic centers in the U.S. and around the world share their expertise
and personal experiences with cutaneous hematologic neoplasms, helping you arrive at an accurate,
more efficient diagnosis and improve patient care.
FEATURES
▶
▶
Uses a
consistent chapter format
that covers: disease definition • clinical, histological,
immunophenotypic, and genetic findings • detailed molecular and immune pathogenesis •
detailed differential diagnoses • and a capsule summary.
▶
▶
Features
hundreds of high-quality clinical and pathological images
, tables, and figures that
clearly explain key concepts.
▶
▶
Follows the classification guidelines
of the World Health Organization and European
Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC).
▶
▶
The most comprehensive reference on diagnosing cutaneous hematologic disorders available
▶
▶
Offers complete, interdisciplinary coverage of:
functional and phenotypic heterogeneity
of cutaneous immune cells • molecular biology of T and B cell lymphomas • current and
emerging diagnostic techniques • hematologic malignancies that emerge from skin resident or
skin homing immune cells • cutaneous metastasis of and paraneoplastic reactions to systemic
hematological malignancies • recent advances in diagnosing cutaneous lymphoproliferations
in acquired immunodeficiency • cutaneous inflammatory conditions and reactive
lymphoproliferations that resemble hematologic malignancies • inflammatory mimickers of
early cutaneous lymphomas • new entities such as annular lichenoid dermatosis of the youth •
pseudolymphomas stemming from drugs, infection, vaccination, tattoo, and epithelial neoplasia
• hematological malignancies in special anatomical regions or patient populations • and adverse
cutaneous reactions secondary to chemotherapy and newer targeted anti-cancer agents.
