Conceived by the editors as a "thorough, authoritative survey of dermatopathology that would present information in a practical format useful to the dermatopathologists, pathologists and dermatologists in training," this book has been highly successful in achieving its goals. It has taken its place among other highly regarded, authoritative standard textbooks of dermatopathology and has consistently proven to be a valuable source of desk reference in dermatopathology.
