Product Description
In this second edition of the Histological Typing of Skin Tumours, the concise format of the first edition has been maintained. The number of tumours described, however, has increased considerably, especially in the melanocytic, adnexal,fibrous tissue and lymphoid neoplasms. Care has been taken to avoid needless subclassification, with the aim of limiting the expansion of categories to those fulfilling demonstrable histological criteria. The commentaries remain succinct whilst including the major diagnostic points, with reference to relevant immunohistochemical features.More than 200 new illustrations are included. Close collaboration with the authors of the AFIP Atlas of Tumor Pathology on Melanocytic and Non-melanocytic Tumours of the Skin ensures a consistent approach to the classification of skin tumors. ...

Product Description
Replete with more than 1,400 photomicrographs of exceptional quality -- all presented in a sequence of magnifications progressing from scanning to high -- this new text also is unique in content. It is the only volume extant devoted entirely to neoplasms with apocrine differentiation, and those cutaneous neoplasms are the most numerous adnexal ones and the most varied in morphologic appearance. Criteria for histopathologic diagnosis of every benign and malignant neoplasm with apocrine differentiation are set forth comprehensively, cogently, and lucidly. Using such criteria, readers will not be surprised to learn that eccrine spiradenoma, papillary eccrine adenoma, cylindroma, syringoma, and aggressive digital adenocarcinoma are apocrine, not eccrine, in character. ...

Skin lymphomas are relatively rare.They may arise in the skin itself and as a by-product of HIV infection, or may arise elsewhere as a result of Hodgkin's disease, B cell lymphomas or leukaemia.Whatever the cause, they can easily be overlooked as psoriasis or dermatitis.

Diagnosis of skin lymphoma is difficult and making the wrong diagnosis can prove fatal. Consequently, those in training in dermatology and pathology need to have a good understanding of the clinical presentations and the pathological correlates of this challenging disease.

The SUN is not the enemy
The author uses plenty of documented scientific experiments to make his points.He explains the physics of our universe in a way I could understand.His extensive study of all the various waveforms we are dealing with was very enlightening.I understand now that skin cancer is a more complicated issue than the sunscreen activists would have us believe.For example, I did not know that sunscreen lotions have carcinogenic chemicals in them that are far worse than we realize.At the end of each chapter he lists some things we can do to safely receive the benefits of healthy sun exposure.He doesn't cover the ozone hole hoax, but I guess I'll have to read another book to get more info on that.I enjoyed reading this book, and I highly recommend it! ...
