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. In addition sentinel node biopsy findings and the use of special
ancillary studies are covered in detail. Each chapter presents illustrative cases that document
the route to correct diagnosis. An important feature of the book is the clinical-pathologic
correlation of challenging melanocytic tumors accordingly it will appeal not only to
pathologists (general surgical pathologists and dermatopathologists) but also to dermatologists
(including dermatopathologists). The book contains some 250 color photos as well as tables and
algorithms designed to assist in the diagnosis of difficult cases.¿
