Description
Book SynopsisThis volume is the first of its kind to emphasize the visual approach in the diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoid infiltrates. Written and designed in an accessible yet highly detailed format by an expert in the field, this book bridges the knowledge gaps so often found when dealing with skin lymphomas. Complete with more than two hundred high quality images and illustrations,
Diagnosis of Cutaneous Lymphoid Infiltrates offers pearls and pitfalls as well as differential diagnoses. Additionally, images are explained and decoded with the use of illustrations and analogies, proving to be an invaluable resource for pathologists, dermatologists, dermatopathologists, hematopathologists, and residents and fellows in these fields.
