Abundant illustrations display the characteristic features of the most important disease entities.Rather than being yet another encyclopedic work of reference, this volume takes a fresh approach as it resembles a series of stimulating seminars employing exemplary case material to highlight, illustrate, and succinctly discuss the key points.

This volume is a concise yet comprehensive resource for physicians dealing with, and interested in, the field of molecular pathology in dermatopathology. The book includes descriptions of the techniques and their application to cutaneous diseases and describes possible future techniques and their use in dermatopathology. Special emphasis is also given to the practical application of these techniques to particular situations illustrated by demonstrative cases.Written by experts in their fields, Precision Molecular Pathology of Dermatologic Diseases is of great value to pathologists, dermatologists, resident and fellows, internists, and general practitioners who deal with dermatologic diseases.

Melanoma results in a significant social impact due to its relatively high mortality and young age of affected patients. During the last two decades there have been several crucial advances providing insight into the molecular alterations responsible for melanoma development. Thus, most melanomas can be classified within several pathways characterized by specific genetic abnormalities. This book describes the most important molecular features of melanocytic lesions with histologic factors that allow us to render a diagnosis of melanoma and related lesions, with special emphasis to the WHO classifications of melanocytic lesions. It serves as a review of the newest information related to the molecular characteristics of melanocytic lesions. Molecular diagnosis has become more vital to the diagnosis of melanomas and other melanocytic lesions, so this book is intended to provide a comprehensive yet concise understanding of emerging molecular advances. Chapters will cover a variety of lesions encountered in practice, including lentigo maligna, acral, mucosal, and desmoplastic melanomas. This text will also include clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical images whenever appropriate.Precision Molecular Pathology of Melanocytic Lesions describes the current knowledge of melanocytic lesions and serves as an important resource for pathologists, dermatologists, oncologists, and researchers who treat and study patients affected by melanocytic tumors.

This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the role of immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of skin tumors, which is crucial given that overlapping histologic features and unusual morphologic changes can lead to considerable diagnostic uncertainty.

This book offers a practical approach to the histologic analysis of a wide range of melanocytic skin lesions, including various nevi and different forms of melanoma, as well as pigmented non-melanocytic lesions.
