From the reviews: "It is meant to be a handbook to help clinicians consider and narrow diagnostic probabilities when they see a skin lesion. ... an excellent guide for anyone interested in learning how to identify and diagnose some of the common skin conditions. From medical students to skilled specialists, all will benefit from this book. ... The authors have followed the basic principles needed for an excellent handbook ... with plenty of figures and an emphasis on providing a structured approach to diagnosing a skin lesion." (Jisna R.
