ATLAS OF GENITAL DERMOSCOPYEdited by Giuseppe Micali, MD and Francesco Lacarrubba, MD Dermatology Clinic, University of Catania, ItalyDermoscopy, a non-invasive modern tool to enhance the diagnosis and monitoring of pigmented and non-pigmented skin disorders, is particularly suitable for use in the genital area, in which traditional invasive diagnostic procedures may be difficult or painful for the patient. Dermatologists, family physicians, and those involved in Sexual Health medicine will all benefit from this atlas showing the applications of dermoscopy in several external genital disorders both in males and females with large high-resolution color photographs throughout.Contents: Fordyce’s spots * Pearly penile papules and vestibular papillae * Genital warts * Molluscum contagiosum * Scabies* Pediculosis pubis * Candidiasis * Lichen planus * Lichen sclerosus * Lichen simplex chronicus * Zoon mucositis * Psoriasis * Vitiligo * Hidradenitis suppurativa * Melanosis * Dowling-Degos disease * Angiokeratoma * Lymphangioma circumscriptum * Melanocytic nevi * Seborrheic keratosis * Median raphe cyst * Squamous cell carcinoma in situ * Invasive squamous cell carcinoma * Extramammary Paget's disease * Melanoma

This atlas, containing a wealth of clinical and dermoscopic images, describes and illustrates the applications of dermoscopy in a wide variety of skin disorders that may be encountered in the pediatric population.

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows rapid and magnified in vivo observation of the skin, with visualization of morphologic features imperceptible to the naked eye. It has revolutionized the approach to pigmented skin lesions, greatly improving diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, over the past few years it has been demonstrated to be very useful in the diagnosis, follow-up, and therapeutic monitoring of a range of other skin disorders, including cutaneous/mucosal infections, ectoparasitoses, inflammatory diseases, and hair and nail abnormalities. Being non-invasive, dermoscopy is particularly suitable for use in the pediatric population, in which invasive diagnostic procedures may be problematic. This atlas, containing a wealth of clinical and dermoscopic images, describes and illustrates the applications of dermoscopy in a wide variety of skin disorders that may be encountered in the pediatric population. Key features and other salient aspects are highlighted with the aim of enabling the clinician to reach a fast and reliable diagnosis in all cases. Particular attention will be dedicated to skin of color patients.

Male genital disorders represent a common issue in medical practice, especially in the dermatological setting. Correct clinical evaluation of these disorders is essential when addressing the diagnosis, which in some cases may require histopathological confirmation. Depending on the disease, early diagnosis may be not only lifesaving, but also of fundamental importance to the planning of successful treatment.This atlas introduces the most common penile diseases, along with more rarely encountered ones. It provides invaluable guidance on clinical diagnosis by highlighting prominent clinical features and presenting particular videodermatoscopy findings when these are indicative of the diagnosis. In addition, for each condition the most appropriate treatment is proposed, taking into account recent therapeutic advances of proven benefit.

Il testo “Le basi della dermatologia” si propone di condurre il medico all’identificazione e valutazione delle lesioni elementari, nonché alla conoscenza delle più moderne tecniche diagnostiche, per permettere un’interpretazione ragionata e corretta del quadro clinico, senza tralasciare le correlazioni istopatologiche e le appropriate opzioni terapeutiche. L’esatta conoscenza dell’anatomia e della fisiopatologia della cute è infatti fondamentale per un corretto inquadramento clinico-diagnostico del paziente dermatologico. In quest’ottica, è stato aggiunto alla seconda edizione del volume un nuovo capitolo che descrive le più comuni affezioni dermatologiche indicandone in modo sintetico le caratteristiche fondamentali ai fini della diagnosi e dell’impostazione della terapia. Redatto in forma essenziale e didattica, il testo è rivolto a dermatologi e medici di base, come pure a specialisti e specializzandi di branche diverse, quali chirurghi plastici, pediatri, geriatri, endocrinologi, allergologi, nonché a medici estetici e a coloro che desiderino avvicinarsi alla cute e a quanto ad essa correlato.

Dermatoscopy has been heavily promoted to dermatologists as the front line in detecting skin cancer early and easily. However, this technology also has other uses in everyday dermatologic practice.Dermatoscopy in Clinical Practice shows those already using the equipment how they can extend its use beyond pigmented lesions and exploit its full potential. Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy can be used for differential diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and monitoring response to treatment of various disorders including inflammatory diseases, parasitoses, viral and fungal infections, nonpigmented skin lesions, hair abnormalities, and a large variety of other dermatologic conditions as well as cosmetology. The book focuses on those conditions in which the techniques are most useful, describing the clinical and histopathological correlations associated with the procedure. The book includes color clinical images throughout, making it a handy guide for the dermatologist’s daily practice.
