The purpose of this book is to focus on a selection of commonly
tested entities, showing low- to high-power views. Major differences among diagnoses that are sometimes confused are
emphasized on “Key differences” pages. As a picture is worth a
thousand words, text is kept to a minimum. Since this book is
not meant to replace major textbooks of dermatopathology,
the atlas and the categories of differential diagnoses found in
the Appendix are not comprehensive, although some entities
not pictured are listed. Ultimately, the book should be used as acompanion to dermatopathology textbooks and as a pictorial
reference/study tool, given that this approach is utilized by the
experienced dermatopathologist when constructing examina-
tion questions. Often, the major distractors are based on gestalt
rather than etiology or conventional classifications. It is often
the look-a-likes that prove to be the most deceptive, even
though they have no obvious relationship to the correct diagnosis.
This book will also be helpful to the dermatopathology novice as
it introduces a simple and effective way to approach a slide.
