“This is a multiauthored dermatopathology reference that focuses on dermatological disorders seen in children. … This is a practical reference for practicing dermatologists and pathologists as well as residents/fellows in these specialties. … The book successfully highlights the unique presentations, both clinically and histologically, in this population. The clear and concise writing, combined with a highly functional layout, makes this an attractive choice for practicing pathologists.” (Nicholas Zoumberos, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
