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. The book reviews in detail the sensitivity and specificity of commonly available
antibodies and their pattern of immunostaining. readers will learn when to order antibodies and
how to interpret findings. In addition prognostic markers are evaluated and emphasis placed on
the pitfalls commonly encountered when evaluating these neoplasms. The text is complemented by
a wealth of superb images. Helpful histograms and algorithms are included and clear guidance
is provided on the application and interpretation of less commonly used antibodies and
immunostains. Applied Immunohistochemistry in the Evaluation of Skin Neoplasms will serve as an
extremely valuable resource for practicing dermatopathologists and pathologists.
