“This book is like an encyclopaedia. The authors have covered the entire spectrum of clinical and pathological aspects in considerable detail; thus, the book will be of use to neophytes as well as more experienced clinical and histological diagnosticians. … this book is a welcome addition to the dermato-pathology library.” (M. K. Singh, The National Medical Journal of India, Vol. 30 (3), May-June, 2017)“The audience includes dermatologists and surgical pathologists with an interest in dermatopathology. Residents and fellows training in these fields also would find this of interest. … This volume concisely covers the major dermatologic entities encountered by surgical pathologists or dermatopathologists in daily practice. It would be helpful for practitioners who wish to quickly search for a specific term while in the clinic or at the microscope.” (Kyle D. Perry, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2016)
