An expert team of dermatopathologists provides an authoritative reference to the microscopic differentiation of dermatological disorders that appear visually identical in Dermatopathology: Diagnosis by First Impression, which can be beneficial for both trainees and practicing physicians. With over 100 new photomicrographs and expanded sections on alopecia and immunohistochemistry, the most recent fourth edition has about 1000 high-resolution, annotated illustrations.

The reader is guided through the identification of unique diagnostic traits in the “Key Differences” pages, and disease-based and alphabetical indexes facilitate the quick retrieval of pertinent information. Unlike other dermatopathology atlases, this one is still arranged according to microscopic pattern rather than disease category, which makes it an ideal partner for slide analysis. In addition, it provides self-assessment questions and pattern analysis techniques.
